HCSI 2022 Individual Recorded Session: An Introduction to School-Based Dialectical Behavior Therapy: Reducing Reactivity and Building Resilience in Students

With the rising rates of student mental health needs and barriers to accessible outpatient care, related services counselors have become the front lines of mental health intervention. As the needs of our students have increased significantly over the past decade, comprehensive, effective, and generalizable social-emotional interventions are of the utmost importance. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a multimodal intervention that teaches students targeted skills to increase mindfulness, regulate emotions, decrease impulsive behaviors, think flexibly, and improve interpersonal skills. The skills-based nature of DBT provides a universal platform that allows for the instruction and generalization of skills across diagnostic and learning profiles. This workshop will provide an overview of DBT theory, principles, and skills and its adaptation as a school-based intervention. The differentiation of CBT and DBT strategies will also be highlighted.

 

This is a recorded session from the Hill Country Summer Institute 2022 conference, which may be viewed anytime 6/22/22 through 8/15/22.  This recorded session has a short quiz following the recording in order to give asynchronous credit.
