The DBT Skills Training Program
About the program:
This program runs weekly and serially throughout the year.
In line with the evidence, this skills training program consists of three modules. Each module runs for nine weeks because there is a lot to learn! You can complete the modules in any order, and the traditional program repeats each of them twice.
Individuals must join before the start date and need to be ready to set aside about two hours for skills training and 90 minutes for the live sessions each week. This is a comprehensive program!
Online learning maintains privacy, removes difficult group interactions and facilitates learning regardless of severity, location or professional role. See videos on the Resources page to learn more about the program.

Dr Yvette Vardy is a senior clinical psychologist with a strong interest in borderline personality disorder and treating individuals with complex, mulitidagnostic presentations. She has established several Dialectical Behaviour Therapy programs in Australia and trained clinicians state-wide with Spectrum, Personality Disorders Service of Victoria.

Note: These DBT skills webinars are not to be confused with comprehensive DBT or individual therapy. For individuals with severe and complex presentations, the recommendation is to engage in a full DBT program, with face to face individual therapy, face to face groups and phone coaching included. Urgent crisis related issues can not be catered for with this webinar format. Webinars are not a replacement for local supports, psychological therapy and crisis services.
