DBT Teens Skills Group – Course Overview

Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) is a type of talk therapy that helps individuals manage intense emotions, reduce self-destructive behaviours, and build healthier relationships. It combines cognitive-behavioural strategies with mindfulness practices and is particularly effective for those experiencing emotional dysregulation, risk-taking behaviours, or interpersonal difficulties.

2. Emotion Regulation – Understanding and managing intense emotions
3. Interpersonal Effectiveness – Building stronger communication and relationship skills
4. Mindfulness – Staying present and aware of thoughts and feelings

Each session introduces one to two new skills through interactive activities, group discussion, and real-life examples. Teens are encouraged to practise these skills between sessions through optional homework tasks.
