Overview.
Are you feeling stuck using the same exercises to teach DBT skills? This training provides the rationale for incorporating creative arts into standard Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills modules.

The goal is to provide therapists with creative interventions to diversify their teaching approaches, deepen experiential learning, and enhance client engagement, particularly for individuals who prefer nonverbal-based learning styles.
Learning Objectives
- Participants will explain the rationale for using creative arts within DBT skill training
- Participants will identify 1-3 creative arts interventions that will reinforce skill acquisition within each skill module
- Adapt these techniques for both group and individual therapy settings while maintaining adherent DBT
