What is a DBT group?

• A DBT group is a structured therapy programme where participants learn and practise DBT skills in a supportive group setting. At AlmaCare, the programme includes an initial assessment and orientation followed by weekly group sessions.

Who can benefit from DBT group therapy?

How often are the DBT group sessions?

• • The group meets weekly, with each session lasting approximately 2½ hours.
    

Is there an assessment before joining the DBT group?
