Becoming a Trained DBT Supervisor™

Course Description

This 5-day training in supervision in DBT is divided into three parts. The focus of the first two days of training is on DBT supervision for teams. Here, learners will learn to assist teams in their efforts to implement DBT with fidelity to the model, with an emphasis on functions and modes. On the second two days of training, learners will be taught the principles of supervising individual DBT practitioners and will focus on training supervisors to shape their supervisees towards adherence to the DBT model. On the final day of training, learners will learn how to manage problems that arise in supervision. This day will involve a mixture of didactics and problem-solving issues that learners have faced in their supervision efforts to date.
