DBT Skills For Parents

Do you have a child who experiences BIG emotions?

We are offering a 12-week class for parents of children who are “supersensors” – they experience the good and the painful emotions in a big way, and may take a long time to calm down. These supersensors are also often highly creative, incredibly intuitive, and care very much! Parenting a supersensor can sometimes require “superparents”!

Who is this class for?

• Parents wanting to increase their connection with their child/children
• People who want to gain understanding of behavioral principles and strategies to support the needs of a variety of circumstances and responses
• Those who want to gain their own skills to effective respond instead of react

What will you learn?
