| Brief Description of Presentation<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t\t | Clients with multidiagnostic, complex problems, and high risk behaviors are amongst the highest utilizers of mental health services. Such behavioral presentations can be difficult to treat and contribute substantially to provider burnout as well as provision of services that aren't effective. In this workshop, participants will learn about the basics of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness-based cognitive behavioral therapy developed to treat suicidal behaviors, and since expanded to treat a host of high-risk and multi-problematic behaviors and presentations within a variety of clinical settings, for diverse populations. This presentation will address the empirical evidence for DBT, the theoretical underpinnings, the principle of dialectics, validation strategies, and introduce the modes and stages of the therapy. Additionally, participants will be introduced to some of the tools and protocols that assist with behavior change in the context of DBT. <\/td>\n\t\t\t\t<\/tr>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t |
