DBT IN SCHOOLS?

Prevention Over Reaction: A Better Way Forward

Students learn skills to:

  • Handle stress and overwhelming emotions

Don’t Just Take Our Word For It

I was unsure how a three day training would be, but you did a great job of keeping us entertained and engaged with the content of the presentations. You made us feel comfortable and have provided us with some very valuable tools!

The training was again very strong. Your ability to read us remotely and make adjustments to your presentation shows not only knowledge of your content, but a genuine desire for us to get the most out of this training. Thank you so much for being flexible and dynamic. I am looking forward to digging deep with this curriculum through the year and improving my students’ mental health through the year and beyond.
— Trainee
Once again, you were a fabulous presenter and I am SUPER impressed by the amount of energy you exhibited throughout the training, especially considering we began at 5:00 AM your time! Your ability to incorporate responses of the audience is fantastic! You really make the importance of this visible to everyone, despite the discipline they teach daily. I enjoyed every minute!

This training gave me ideas on how to reach students in crisis and how to give them the skills to rationalize their emotions and communicate their intent/desire.
