Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) has grown exponentially since its development two decades ago. Research shows that DBT is effective with adolescents struggling with emotion regulation, including those who are diagnosed with eating disorders and substance use disorders. This interactive LI will teach attendees how to apply DBT skills and strategies to their work with adolescents. Attendees will be provided with usable information regarding how to adopt or adapt DBT to the specific setting they work in.
