DBT-Child Classes

DBT for Children (DBT-C) was developed to address treatment needs of children and adolescents struggling with high emotional sensitivity and impulsive behavior. These children experience emotions at a different level and much stronger than their peers. These children are easily irritated, and their emotions may be so overwhelming that verbal or physical aggression occurs. The main goals of DBT-C are to teach these children adaptive coping skills, effective problem-solving, and parental reinforcement of effective behaviors at home.

For those new to DBT-C, please complete the Interest Form and a member of our DBT-C team will connect with you to discuss your DBT-C options.

Registration links and additional information about each class can be found under the subheadings below.
