Course Description:
DBT Skills Training for Domestic Violence Advocates. Co-taught by Beth Rogers and Margaret Hobart, this practical hands-on two-day training will provide DV advocates with an overview of DBT skills and other DBT principles and strategies that will help DV advocates in their work with survivors. Topics will include:
- Mindfulness, emotion regulation, distress tolerance and interpersonal effectiveness.
- Validation; what it is, why it matters and how it helps in a crisis and moving toward change.
- Middle path thinking: finding both/and solutions, seeing what’s missing.
- Consultation/coaching: supporting survivors to manage challenges themselves rather than taking over.
