Dialectical Behavioural Therapy Skills Training
We will use a quasi-experimental pre/post study design to pilot two 13-week group DBT sessions in Manitoba that will be led by a licensed clinical psychologist who is trained and certified in delivery of DBT Skills Training. Additional staff (e.g. Licensed Kidney Health Manitoba Social Worker at Seven Oaks General Hospital and/or a clinical psychology practicum student supervised by the licensed psychologist) may also co-facilitate the group depending on timing and human resources availability. An initial DBT Skills training group will meet in person at Seven Oaks General Hospital weekly for 13 weeks (including initial orientation session). Following completion of and incorporating feedback from the first session, a second virtual 13-week DBT skills training group session will be implemented. Modules included in this training will be orientation, Mndfulness, Distress Tolerance, Emotional Regulation, Interpersonal Communication.
