DBT Skills Training for Parents/Caregivers
Thursdays 7-8 p.m. beginning July 13
Imagine you are on an airplane, getting ready for takeoff. When reviewing the emergency plan, there are specific instructions that if the oxygen masks drop down, apply your mask first before helping a child. The reason is that you can’t help your child if you can’t breathe. The same is true when your child is struggling with depression or anxiety.

Why learn DBT?
DBT, or Dialectical Behavioral Therapy is effective in assisting individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, and other mental health issues.
For parents or caregivers of teens struggling with mental health issues, implementing DBT in their own lives can make all the difference in helping their children.
