Design your DBT Training Journey
We provide introductory to advanced online and in-person DBT training to healthcare professionals from around the world.
Level 1: Core
Level 1 training provides an in-depth introduction to our pathways of DBT for Adults, DBT for Adolescents and Families and our custom pathway for medical doctors, which includes training for GPs and Psychiatrists.
Level 2: Advanced
Level 2 training allows you to choose from different pathways. All of the pathways include using DBT in individual therapy, with the option to focus on DBT for Depression and Anxiety, Trauma and Neurodiversity.
Our Level 2 Start and Run DBT Skills Groups workshops for adults and adolescents focus on equipping you with the skills to develop and implement a skills program.
Level 3: Externship
Level 3 consists of 2 parts with the focus is on implementing a standard DBT program.
Part 1 (1 day workshop) is about addressing challenges from Level 2, phone coaching, consult groups and an orientation to the DBT externship.
Between part 1 and 2, participants will be expected to either write up a DBT case from individual therapy or implement a DBT skills group. There will be 2 peer supervision opportunities during the 3 month interval.
Part 2 is about peer supervision, masterclasses and "filling in the gaps" in your implementation of DBT.
