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: a group and regular individual check-ins with your health professional. The 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
Group sessions will be held in person at UBC Vancouver Counselling Services. We recognize the unique individual needs of each student and will provide alternate options if group programming is not an appropriate referral option or fit.
