WHAT: This weekly group runs much like a class, meeting weekly and working on learning skills from Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), such as mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness.

START DATE & DURATION: We offer rolling admission, meaning you can join the group at any time. Once you join, you should plan on attending for 7 months, as there are 7 months worth of material to cover in this group. Clients with a diagnosis of Borderline Personality Disorder are encouraged to attend for 12-14 months.
