Parenting Adolescents Through Mindfulness

This workshop will give an overview of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and its adaptation to adolescents who are experiencing intense negative emotions that can lead to self-injurious behaviors,anger outbursts, and difficulty with interpersonal relationships. In this model, parents and their children learn skills acquisition in a multifamily setting. As parents obtain a better understanding of their child’s emotional world and learn coping strategies, they become better equipped to coach their adolescents in the home environment.

 

The workshop is designed for parents and for therapists who have had minimal exposure to DBT and who may be seeking additional community resources for adolescent clients and their families.
