Course Description:
As children grow and mature, successful youth learn self-regulation skills. These skills involve learning to label and regulate arousal, how to tolerate emotional distress, how to trust one’s own emotional responses and grieve, how to set and achieve goals, and how to solve life’s problems. Practical techniques to teach children and adolescents how to regulate emotions, find self-validation, work through crises, and problem solve will be presented in this one-day workshop. You will learn to practice the clinical application of DBT and other skills with children and adolescents to reduce crisis and high-risk behaviors, to improve the daily functioning of youths, and to provide important coping skills for young people.
