Parental Support
Parents receive full access to our self-paced, 22-week Adult DBT curriculum, which mirrors our Adolescent DBT program. In addition, parents are invited to attend a live session at the start of each skills module. These sessions provide an overview of what teens will be learning, empowering parents to better support their child.
Course Modules
This is an 8-week program that includes essential skills drawn from all four DBT modules: Mindfulness, Distress Tolerance, Emotion Regulation, and Interpersonal Effectiveness. While our full 22-week program explores each module in greater depth, this course offers a streamlined version designed to give parents the most impactful tools in a shorter timeframe. The video below provides an overview of our full DBT curriculum, not just the specific skills taught in this 8-week parent course. It’s a helpful resource for understanding the broader DBT framework that informs all of our programs.
