Managing ADHD and Emotion Dysregulation with Dialectical Behavior Therapy

November 19 @ 11:00 am - 12:00 pm MST

FREE

EXPERT: Lauren Allerhand, Psy.D.

Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) is an evidence-based treatment designed to help individuals who struggle with emotional dysregulation, aggression, self-harm, and other problem behaviors. DBT is an intensive, highly structured program that was originally created for adults in the 1970s and has since been adapted for children and adolescents. It can be an effective treatment for ADHD because it aids in the development of skills that support emotional regulation, problem-solving, and self-acceptance.

In this webinar, you will learn:

  • About the conditions that DBT treats in children and adolescents, and who would be a good fit for this therapy
  • About DBT as a treatment model and how it works
  • How DBT can support children and adolescents in managing mood, impulsivity, and anxiety
  • About DBT strategies to support children in distress
