Dialectical Behavior Therapy for Diverse Client Needs – Dr Andy Bein
This training is designed for mental health clinicians and health care professionals to enrich their understanding of dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) as well as help them gain proficiency in applying DBT interventions. A user-friendly, Wise Mind model will be presented that clinicians across community and private practice settings have effectively used across a spectrum of client diagnoses and challenges.
Particular attention will be paid to relevantly engaging and working with culturally and clinically diverse clients as well as with clients who are reluctant (or traditionally considered “resistant”). A trauma-informed lens will guide approaches for client skill acquisition and clinician use-of-self. Methods for incorporating dialectical behavior therapy into various practice settings will be discussed.
Ultimately, this lively, skill-based workshop will help you empower clients to mindfully address and work with reactive and distressing emotions, to develop compassionate self-care skills, and to locate sources of resilience in challenging times.
