Remote Learning: An Introduction to Dialectical Behavioural Therapy

Posted on 22 Aug 2022

DATE: 16 September 2022

TIMES: 09:30 - 16:30 (CET-1)

Members of The Psychological Society of Ireland can receive 4 learning credits and members of The Addiction Counsellors of Ireland can receive 6 CPD points for completing this workshop. 

Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) was founded in 1993 by Marsha Linehan, initially known as CBT for Borderline disorder.  DBT consists of a series of skills and techniques for working with personality disorders and other areas.  Many people want to familiarise themselves with these skills without necessarily becoming a DBT therapist exclusively, and the introduction course is ideal if you are thinking of taking the first step in becoming a DBT therapist or if you would like to have a better understanding of the concept before referring clients or employees to a DBT service.

Note: There is also the option of participating in an Advanced DBT workshop on completion of this training. Please check here for more details: https://www.thelearningcurve.ie/online-learning/remote-learning-advanced-dialectical-behavioural-therapy-dbt-workshop

This workshop will be delivered on Zoom and will allow you to interact with your trainer and other participants in a virtual classroom. In addition to the workshop content, there will be time built in for live discussions, question & answer sessions and skills practice. 

Suitable for:

  • Professionals who see clients in 1 to 1 sessions and wish to add DBT techniques to their set of skills.
  • People or teams working in inpatient or community settings.
  • Mental health/psychiatric nurses, social workers, occupational therapists, clinical psychologists, psychiatrists, probation officers, people working in HR or Occupational Health departments.
  • Carers for people with mental health issues.

Note: Attendees will be expected to have their cameras on during the training. This helps generate engagement and interaction with their trainer and other participants. If special circumstances mean that a participant may have to switch off their camera occasionally please let us know in advance.
