Preteens

Learn coping skills to manage intense emotions, problem behaviors, conflicts within and outside the home!

Weekly DBT Skills Training: Preteens (grades 6-8) often struggle with intense and confusing emotions and behaviors that lead to problems for them and their families. This program teaches both preteens and their parents strategies for better responding to hard situations both within and outside the home. The full course of skills is 24 weeks, and the preteen and one guardian participate in the course together. Typically conducted in group format that meets weekly for 90 minutes.

Preteens are required to have a current individual therapist to participate in DBT Skills Training program. They remain in treatment with their individual therapist for the entire skills training course.
