DBT Informed Peer Connections

DBT Peer Connections Skills Training Videos

• When I first decided to pursue DBT, it was a nightmare trying to access a program. Therefore, I decided that if I made it into DBT and it proved to be as awesome as Marsha Linehan’s manual suggested, I would do whatever I could to help my peers gain access to the wisdom I was fortunate enough to obtain. This skills training video series is the result of my efforts. I hope you find them useful. 

Love and Kindness,
