Treating Adolescents in DBT

This 8-hour FREE virtual training is specifically designed to support practitioners who have attended prior training in DBT to implement the adaptions of standard DBT to adolescent populations. The curriculum emphasizes case-based learning (clinical examples) and experiential learning (role plays, exercises, and practices) to support the individual and teams in developing the capabilities necessary to provide DBT with adolescents.

This training is for current New Mexico DBT Teams and other clinicians with training in DBT who are interested in adding adolescent DBT treatment to their practice.
