DBT in Schools 2023

Join us for a FREE informational session on Wednesday, December 6 at 4pm CST to learn more about this opportunity for a fully-funded intensive training series for your school with DBT in Schools.

DBT STEPS-A (Skills Training for Emotional Problem Solving for Adolescents) is a unique SEL curriculum that offers a preventive, universal approach for teaching emotion regulation skills and coping strategies to middle and high school-aged adolescents. The curriculum provides easy-to-use manualized lessons and student handouts for implementation by general education teachers.
