Course Description:

Attend this seminar and you will discover how powerful, and proven, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is for treating challenging child and adolescent disorders. Working with emotionally-dysregulated children in your practice can be overwhelming and exhausting. You probably feel the pull of being the "savior" for dysregulated children and their worried parents. Learn how to implement the DBT skills you need to be more effective in treatment, avoid burnout and achieve positive outcomes.

Join Dr. Eboni Webb, advisor to the Dialectical Behavior Therapy National Certification and Accreditation Association, and take home evidence based strategies from DBT to use with your young clients who have:
  • ADHD
  • Attachment Disorder
  • Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD)/Conduct Disorder (CD)
  • Eating Disorders
  • Anxiety
  • Depression
  • Substance Abuse
  • and more ...

Objectives:
  1. List the critical “ingredients” for effective DBT therapy.
  2. Describe the biosocial model of pervasive emotional dysregulation disorders found in innately sensitive children.
  3. Utilize behavior modification strategies at the earliest stage of dysregulation.
  4. Summarize the importance of structure in both skills training and home environments and how to teach parents or care providers to implement these strategies.
  5. Explain how to adapt each skills module to reflect the language of the child.
  6. Explain the role of parents/therapists/care providers and how to reestablish a safe and loving structure that enables the child to learn and generalize skills.
