Please Register Online. TLC Credit: IS (T), SEBH
Presenter: Amy Kahle, Director of Intervention Programs for the United Action for Youth
This introductory session will be an overview of Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. What is it? How is it used? What does the research say?
One practitioner shares her experience with Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) in the classroom, in one-on-one sessions with students, with small groups, and in her personal life. Participants will leave the session with a working knowledge of Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) concepts and how these concepts might benefit students (and adults) in and out of the classroom. Bring your questions.
Note: This is not a Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) training, but an overview of the practice and an example of how it might be implemented.
