Upcoming Webinar

 

Essential DBT Skills for Individuals Who are Suicidal and the People that Care for Them

Tuesday, May 9 | 2 pm EDT / 1 pm CDT / 12 pm MDT / 11 am PDT

Duration: 1 Hour

Join us for this hour-long webinar, “Essential DBT Skills for Individuals Who are Suicidal and the People that Care for Them.” Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a comprehensive psychological treatment that was originally developed for borderline personality disorder but has been expanded to a variety of problems, many of which have been experienced by people during the historical events of the past few years. Dozens of randomized trials of DBT have been conducted including studies evaluating the efficacy of only the skills portion of the treatment. Results support the use of DBT skills to increase emotion regulation capabilities and decrease negative mental health outcomes such as depression and anxiety. In this webinar, Dr. Rizvi will review the DBT skills modules, the proposed mechanisms of change within DBT, and will highlight specific skills that may be especially useful to the majority of clients who experience suicidal thoughts and behaviors. In addition, skills that therapists and family members can use themselves to manage stress and burnout will be reviewed.
