Traditional safety planning methods are often ineffective at best, & invalidating to clients at worst. 
In this training you will learn how to approach safety planning using dialectical behavioural therapy (DBT) skills & concepts. 
This approach allows clients to feel more understood, addresses the ACTUAL problem underlying risky behaviours, & gives clients practical skills they can use right away.
This package contains:
- Information about the major flaws with traditional safety planning methods
- An alternative approach to understanding risk from a DBT framework
- Skills training in distress tolerance skills to use with your clients
- Safety planning templates 
- Resources for more support & DBT skills training
