A weekly skills group for students who struggle to control their emotions or behavior.  

The group uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), a well-established treatment that teaches people four types of skills for reducing suffering and regaining control:

  *  Mindfulness for experiencing and accepting life as it is
  *  Emotional regulation for reducing vulnerability, reactivity, and suffering
  *  Distress tolerance for surviving pain and crisis without making things worse
  *  Interpersonal effectiveness for getting needs met, saying no, and managing conflict

The group is like a workshop focused on learning and practicing skills. Members use their problems as opportunities for practicing skills, but any one member’s experiences are not discussed in depth.
