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.
​

- Understanding the function of risky & problem behaviours
- How to build & reinforce distress tolerance skills
