This workshop will provide clinicians with effective tools to help them engage parents in a therapeutic process which will enable parents to learn effective parenting skills. Taught by an experienced clinical social worker and parent coach through anecdotes and the teaching of specific DBT skills, clinicians will learn strategies they can utilize to teach parents how to understand behaviors, recognize family patterns, and make effective parenting decisions to establish a healthy and safe environment for the entire family.

At the conclusion of the program, participants should be able to:

• Describe BioSocial Theory and how it can be used to help parents understand their child’s difficulties;
• Explain how validating parents can keep them engaged in the change process;
• List and discuss the skills of the Middle Path module of DBT for parents and children;
• Use 4 DBT skills to teach parents to create a healthier environment and to de-escalate children who are in crisis.
