DBT Hybrid 2024
Welcome to the DBT Hybrid Training 2024
We are proud to introduce a 9 month process that allows practitioners to choose from introductory, advanced and externship level DBT training to treat adults and adolescents. This course outlines the DBT for Adolescents Pathway.
What is the training process?
Hybrid DBT Training 2024 was designed for mental health professionals who want to:
1. Learn more about DBT
2. Grow in their ability to treat multidiagnostic, difficult-to-treat adolescents
3. Implement a standard DBT program
The training process allows flexibility, based on the desired level of training and time constraints. So, join the DBT Hybrid 2024 journey live, on-demand or do both... HYBRID.
Level 1: Core
Level 1 consists of a 8 sessions across 4 days of training. DBT in Practice with Adolescents introduces DBT case formulation and modes of treatment. Adolescent DBT Skills Crash Course, provides an overview of the skills used in practice with adolescents.
Level 2: Advanced
Level 2 is advanced level training and previous training in DBT is a requirement. The focus will be on DBT processes and skills involved in individual therapy and how to start and run DBT skills groups.
DBT in individual therapy with adolescents consists of an initial 1 day workshop. This is followed by the option to choose from DBT for Depression and Anxiety and DBT with Neurodivergent Adolescents for an additional 1 day workshop.
The 1 day Start and Run Adolescent DBT Skills Groups workshop focuses on the practical skills to develop and implement a DBT skills program for adolescents.
Level 3: Externship
Level 3 consists of 2 parts. The focus is on implementing the elements of a standard DBT program.
Part 1 (1 day workshop) is about addressing challenges from Level 2, phone coaching, consult groups and an orientation to the DBT externship.
Between part 1 and 2, participants will be expected to either write up a DBT case from individual therapy or implement a DBT skills group. There will be 2 peer supervision opportunities during the 3 month interval.
Part 2 is about peer supervision, masterclasses and "filling in the gaps" in your implementation of DBT.
