This poster session will discuss the implementation of creative interventions that are grounded in informed dialectical behavior therapy. Portraying the presenters’ experience and outcomes of the participants also is a key point of the research. One of the significant goals of this study is to provide information on concrete ways to reach female adolescents and to help them adjust their problematic behavior though emotional regulation.
