Training Description:
This 2-day training will provide school mental health staff with an overview of how Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills and strategies can be provided within the school environment using a MTSS model. School mental health staff will be taught how to identify student goals and behavioral targets for counseling sessions as well as the rationale of using a chain analysis as a method of assessment and guide to determining effective solutions. Additionally, participants will be provided step-by-step processes for providing skills coaching (based on DBT STEPS-A skills) to students “on the fly” when needed during the school day in order to increase the amount of time students spend in the classroom. Participants will learn how the invalidating environment can impact emotion dysregulation and will be taught validation skills and how they can be used to impact school culture.
