Outpatient
Multi-Family Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) Skills Training Group for Adolescents available at Washburn Center for Children
The group currently meets weekly for two hours on Tuesdays from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. at Washburn’s main site at 2430 Nicollet Avenue South in Minneapolis. The group consists of five to seven clients and two therapists. One adult caregiver of each client is also required to attend every group. Clients typically make a commitment of attending the group for at least 20 weeks or until they have completed each of the units. Clients are also required to attend weekly individual therapy sessions with a therapist that is knowledgeable with DBT skills.
Clients should be between the ages of 13.5 and 17 years-old and either males or females. They typically demonstrate borderline personality features, including a history of interpersonal difficulties, engagement in self-injurious behaviors, suicidal ideation and/or history of attempts, emotional dysregulation, and impulsivity.
