The training will be based on the four basic DBT Skills of: core mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. These skills are designed to specifically assist individuals in better managing behaviors, emotions, and thoughts. Be prepared to learn the skills and explore current curriculum as well as online multiple sites for worksheets.
