Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) Group Skills Training – for Mood or Anxiety Disorders
Mental Health - Adult
Provided by Mind and Mood Clinical Care Network
A 6-month DBT program that supports adults to learn skills for managing depression or anxiety in a virtual group setting.
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) Group Skills Training supports adults to learn skills for managing depression or anxiety in a virtual group setting. The 6-month program includes weekly 2-hour learning
sessions on topics including mindfulness and emotional regulation. DBT is a mindfulness-based, cognitive behavioural treatment. In its comprehensive form, DBT includes: individual therapy, group skills training, coaching calls, and additional supports. This program focuses on group skills training, a critical component of DBT which is often effective on its own. The focus of each session is on learning, practicing and eventually brining each skill into daily life. The program is composed of four learning modules:
- Mindfulness
- Distress Tolerance
- Emotional Regulation
- Interpersonal Effectiveness
Services are covered by MSP. The program is available across BC through referral from a family physician or nurse practitioner. The program requires a referral from a primary care provider who is familiar with the patient’s history and has provided care to that person for some time. Space is limited, and not all referrals can be accepted. The program prioritizes those who do not otherwise have access to cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) or DBT skills training.
These classes are not therapy sessions. They are learning sessions, in which participants may share what they need to share in order to improve their understanding of the DBT skills. The program is designed for individuals who:
- Are living in BC who are aged 19 years or older
- Have a mood and/or anxiety disorder
- Are receiving ongoing care from a family doctor or general practitioner
- Are able to attend and participate consistently, including access to a computer and Zoom
