This advanced-level programme offers case-based supervision, structured implementation support, and opportunities for peer consultation. You’ll gain hands-on experience in applying DBT across complex presentations, with guidance on system integration, team dynamics, and sustainable service delivery.

Participants will gain access to:

  • over 100 CPD hours
  • live online workshops
  • a comprehensive training library
  • structured skills development
  • expert supervision and feedback
  • real-world application of DBT in your setting
  • tools to lead and grow DBT programmes
