Family Connections

The Family Connections skills training group provides supplemental teaching for loved ones of individuals in DBT. Group members learn the same three core skills modules (Distress Tolerance, Emotion Regulation, and Interpersonal Effectiveness) as their loved one in individual therapy. A goal of Family Connections is to provide a “common language” for the group members and their loved ones in order to provide a supportive and effective environment for growth and change. The groups typically consist of 2-8 families and meet for 2 hours once a week.
