In providing DBT Family Skills Training in the Triangle of North Carolina over the past 10+ years, handouts and worksheets have been developed to strengthen the application of the skills. The purpose is simple, that is, for friends and families to benefit from creative, effective applications of DBT. One caveat: this is simply one version of many ways to present DBT FST and is not intended to be definitive. That said, I hope that you find this information useful in our shared efforts to respond to suffering with greater skillfulness, compassion and living in contact with Wise Mind common to all of us.
The DBT Family Skills Training handouts and worksheets for the 12 sessions are currently available to those who participate in the Triangle or online. In addition to the handouts, the online program includes videotaped teaching portions of the 12 sessions (not professional recordings) that are available for viewing through www.dbtfamilyskills.com once registration is completed. The fee to view the video recordings includes additional class handouts and worksheets. Lastly, to assist you in strengthening and generalizing these skills, telephone or online consultation is available at an hourly rate. For professionals, teaching notes and promotional information is also included with the standard handouts. Professional consultation is also available for assistance in implementing and presenting the sessions to the public.
Appreciations! DBT Family Skills Training was first offered in North Carolina in 2004. At that time, I had been asked by Meggan Moorhead, DBT-BTech trainer and a founder of Triangle Area DBT, to pull together this class as a resource for family members in the Chapel Hill-Durham-Raleigh area of North Carolina. With the support of my wonderful DBT colleagues in the Triangle, it has been a rewarding journey. Perry Hoffman, Co-founder and President of the National Education Alliance for Borderline Personality, was very generous and helpful in getting the class off the ground. Our program is based on her original Family Skills Training curriculum. In addition, the program draws from the valuable research, clinical expertise, and writings of Perry Hoffman, Alan Fruzzetti, Kelly Koerner, Shari Manning, Meggan Moorhead, and Marsha Linehan.
