Slide3What is DBT?
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy for adolescents (DBT) is an effective treatment for people who have difficulty controlling their emotions and behaviors.
It
addresses the relationship between the individual and his/her environment.
In
a school setting, students receiving DBT treatment will learn how to regulate their emotions and develop more adaptive coping skills/strategies

Slide6Validations Skills
Validation communicates to another person that his/her feelings, thoughts, actions make sense and are understandable to you in a particular situation.
REMEMBER:
Validation does not necessarily mean that you like or agree with what the other person is doing, saying or feeling. It means you understand where they are coming from.
Validation is NOT praise!

Slide7What & Why Should We Validate?
WHAT can we validate?
Feelings, thoughts and behaviors in:
Ourselves & other people
Validate the valid, not the invalid. You can still validate the feeling
without
validating the behavior
(Validate your child’s feelings of anger about her low test grade even though you know she didn’t study; Don’t validate the lack of studying which led to the low grade)
JG
Slide8WHY should we validate?
It improves relationships!
Increases motivation for change!
Validation can show that:
You are listening.
You understand.
You are being non-
judgemental.You care about the relationship.
Conflict is possible w/decreased intensity.
(Agree to disagree)ZR
