About the group
The overall goal of this program is to learn skills to change unwanted behaviors, emotions, thinking, and events that may cause your life to be difficult.
Structured as an interactive class, the program consists of two parts: an online group and regular individual check-ins with your health professional. The online group is based on Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), which was developed to offer concrete strategies to help people build a better life.
The four main areas of focus are:
- Distress tolerance
- Emotion regulation
- Mindfulness
- Interpersonal effectiveness
Eligibility
This group is open to UBC Vancouver students only. To participate, you must be currently living in British Columbia and have access to a private and quiet space with a stable Internet connection that can support Zoom.
