This on-demand professional training program on Skills, Coaching, Crisis Calls, and Putting it All Together is part of our Certification training and is presented by Michele Galietta, Ph.D.

One of the four components of comprehensive Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is telephone coaching. As DBT formally incorporates intersession contact, it is essential to understand this therapeutic tool's corresponding protocols, utility, and functions. This program orients participants to this unique aspect of DBT and utilizes role-playing to demonstrate clinical examples. While patients do not have to be in crisis to use coaching, there are times that patients may need coaching during an ongoing crisis. Therefore, this program educates participants on dealing with a crisis call.

Another unique aspect of DBT is the consultation team. The consultation team is the backbone of DBT and provides emotional and technical support for DBT therapists. The consultation team makes therapists more skillful in the delivery of DBT, similar to how the skills group makes patients more skillful. This program will discuss a consultation team's meeting agenda, common problems, agreements, and solutions for healthy teams.
