If you ever worry about how to best support clients with impulsive behaviors and dysregulated emotions… if you ever judge yourself or fear you lack knowledge and skill… if you are not recognized by your treatment team as the true professional you are (seen as merely fun entertainment)… if you need skills to cope through difficult situations in your own life … if you work in a DBT program but don’t quite know how to fit in, …If you don’t work in a DBT program but seek solutions for those difficult clients…then this is just for you.

” I am so glad to have gone ahead with this. We need freshness and validation as therapists and being the only music therapist in our facility, I get stale and stalled. My boss is supportive and the hospital is giving me some reimbursement for a portion of the course. More importantly, the clients have been so open to it. I am loving it if you can’t tell. ” Suzanne Mann

I’m really enjoying my Adolescent MT/DBT focused groups. It seems to be a good combination, and I’m collaborating with the staff that teach DBT skills, so she picks a DBT principle/focus and I support that during group. It’s great!” Betsey C.

“I was drawn to the training because our Partial Program was willing to and needed to take a new direction. I volunteered to take the Music Therapy group and really create a skills track that fit the needs of our clients more specifically. Our clients are dealing with more and more personality struggles and DBT seemed like the right fit. Frankly, I have been using many of the strategies over the years and heard psychiatrist say “there needs to be a DBT program”.
I gained a much clearer understanding of the modules, the skills and how to present them. I found the multiple training format (live supervision, reading the manuals and 2 different video presentations) to be most helpful. I truly gained much from the Behavioral Tech videos describing how to teach the skills and ideas related to music therapy groups really popped up out of that. I appreciated the structure of the timing of modules and feedback that allowed for the freedom to work at a steady yet manageable pace.
Professionally, it has really made a difference in the program giving us a more standard language and skills that we can refer back to and forward to. Personally, being able to incorporate the program gave me something to look forward to and challenge myself – break out of ruts and be more creative again.” Suzanne Makaray MT-BC
