DBT for Children
Our affordable DBT-informed program for pre-adolescent children can help children who struggle with emotion dysregulation and behavioral dyscontrol. Children and parents are taught Mindfulness, Distress Tolerance, Emotion Regulation, Interpersonal Effectiveness, and Middle Path skills together. Parents learn how to be more effective in helping their children manage their emotional distress. Research has clearly established that parental involvement in therapy predicts better therapeutic outcomes for children.
