What Is DBT Training? Dialectical behavioral therapy STEPS (DBT-STEPS) is a skills-based training program adults can teach to adolescents in a group settingover several weeks. This free training is open to any adult interested in learning DBT-STEPS skills needed to facilitate DBT-STEPS group learning sessions for adolescents in agencies, schools and other community groups. Our goals include:

• Growing a training network of community members who can teach youth the skills to manage distress before their emotions escalate to crisis levels.

• Teaching adults in Wake County a common “language” to use with one another, with youth, and to cue skills use. Adults will speak a common language when working with kids, and kids will hear and respond to the same language.
