DBT for Parents Program

Is your child or teen struggling with mental health difficulties & problem behaviours?

​

Parenting is hard at the best of times. It's even harder when you're watching your young person struggle & nothing you are trying seems to be working.

 

It's common to feel scared & powerless when your loved one is engaging in behaviours that are risky & problematic. Perhaps you've tried accessing mental health support without much change. 

​

Young people struggling with risky behaviours often need specialist treatment. Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT) is the gold-standard treatment for emotion dysregulation, self harm & other problematic behaviours.

​

This online & self-paced course is your first step to knowing how to support your young person in ways that work.

 

You will learn essential skills & concepts to help support your young person. You will also learn how to model skilful emotion regulation that will have a positive impact on your whole family.

​

The idea behind this course is to teach you DBT skills & concepts that are effective in changing problem behaviours. There are several ways learning these skills will help, including:

​

- understanding WHY your young person engages in problem behaviours
- learning skills that can help your young person change problematic behaviour patterns
- helping you learn & model these skilful behaviour, which is the most powerful influence on your young person
- teach you how to reinforce & validate DBT skills if your young person is also learning & practicing them

​

The course is made up of video training modules to walk you through key concepts & skills. You get access to the exact same training modules that we use effectively with young people at the Central Coast DBT Clinic every day. 

​

You will learn exactly what to say, do & how to do it with a strong focus on practical skills.

​

Topics include:

- Understanding the function of risky & problem behaviours

- How to build & reinforce distress tolerance skills

- Skills to use during times of crisis that change body chemistry FAST!

- Emotion regulation skills for the whole family

- Effective validation skills

- Radical acceptance skills

​

This program is one major thing you can do to help your young person in their healing journey.
