Trainer: Francheska Perepletchikova, PhD

The Dialectical Behavior Therapy for Children (DBT-C) Training for Experienced Clinicians is a comprehensive course designed for those who have attended the Dialectical Behavior Therapy Intensive™ or Foundational training who are interested in the application of DBT with children. This training is intended for clinicians invested in learning DBT-C to a high standard in order to better implement the treatment in their setting. It includes content on child individual counseling, didactics on emotions, parent training component and DBT-C skills.
Training is conducted in two three-day sessions of instruction divided by six to nine months of home study and monthly consultations via teleconference.
⦁ In Part 1, lectures and small group exercises are used to teach DBT-C strategies in depth.
⦁ Between Parts 1 and 2 participants consolidate and apply their learning with the help of practice assignments. During this time, teams design and begin implementing their own DBT-C program or integrate DBT-C into an ongoing treatment setting. Monthly 1-hour consultation is provided by DBT- C experts to teams. Consultation is designed to help build or integrate DBT-C into practice settings, improve understanding of the material, and enhance effectiveness of program implementation.
⦁ In Part 2, each team presents their work and receives expert consultation on specific cases. Teams are provided with further practice on application of techniques and identification of strategies.
Participants are expected to be mental health professionals who have attended DBT Intensive or Foundational training, have at least one year of experience delivering DBT, and currently work with pre- adolescent children.
The DBT-C training involves rigorous preparation, training, and homework. The course is designed to model basic elements of the treatment in an experiential way. Just as DBT-C requires families to make a full commitment to treatment and to attend all sessions, DBT-C training requires participants to attend the entire training, do their best to learn the material, and to participate in a willing, committed manner.
Learning Objectives:
As a result of this training, participants will be able to:
