Adult (18+) Female-Identifying DBT Skills Group for All Victimizations
Our DBT skills training group is open to survivors of intimate partner violence, sexual assault, and human trafficking and is facilitated in a group format similar to a class. Tasks are provided for people to practice between sessions with the purpose of helping survivors introduce effective, practical skills into their lives in the face of distress with the intention of replacing other unhealthy and negative behaviors. Topics include:
- Mindfulness: the practice of being in the present and acknowledging thoughts, feelings, and behaviors as they arise without attempting to control them.
- Distress tolerance: the process of learning to cope during a crisis, particularly in situations that are unable to be changed, by meeting the situation with acceptance rather than resistance with how it ‘should’ be.
- Interpersonal Effectiveness: the ability to voice needs and say no when necessary, while still maintaining self-respect and relationships with others.
- Emotional Regulation: the capacity to manage emotions so they do not control thoughts and behaviors.
In-House Survivor Empowerment Group
Our gender-inclusive survivor empowerment groups embolden victims and survivors by enhancing their understanding of trauma, resilience, self-care, healthy relationships, and emotional regulation. This knowledge supports informed choices, mental wellbeing, and resilience on their healing journey.
