This innovative team meets bi-weekly and is supported by once a month DBT skills program consultation calls by the Linehan institute, for training and supervision of all team members, on the development and structure of a skills program for clients. Currently DBT skills groups are weekly for at least two hours for parents/caregivers. All Consultation Team members and Skills Team leaders have been intensively trained by B Tech Linehan Institute qualified trainers. The team’s plan is to expand to more specialty groups for fathers, young adults, and adolescents over the course of the year.
