DBT Based Skills group is a chance to learn some of the fundamental DBT skills from each of the modules: Mindfulness, Emotion Regulation, Distress Tolerance and Interpersonal Effectiveness. DBT Based Skills Group (Virtual – Open to Adults Across BC)
This DBT-based skills group offers the opportunity to learn and practice foundational skills from all four Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) modules: mindfulness, emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness.

Emotion Regulation- Reduce intense emotional ups and downs
Distress Tolerance- Manage stress and difficult emotions more effectively, get through a crisis without making it worse.
Interpersonal Effectiveness- Communicate wants & needs effectively, set boundaries with greater confidence
Mindfulness- Stay more present and grounded in daily life
