Developmentally adapted skills and family support
Adolescent DBT adapts behavioural assessment, skills, validation, safety planning, and relationship work to the young person’s developmental context. Caregiver involvement is planned rather than assumed.
You don’t need to choose a program before contacting us. Intake does not commit you to treatment.
The mix is individualized. Not every family requires every component.
Validation, limits, reinforcement, repair and family practice
Assessment, treatment priorities, coaching boundaries and coordination
Practice at home and in the situations where difficulties actually happen
School or health providers when relevant and appropriately coordinated
This map shows relationships around a young person, not automatic access to their information. School or other professional coordination occurs only when appropriate and authorized.
Youth need a meaningful degree of privacy, and caregivers need enough information to support safety and treatment. The clinician explains the limits of confidentiality, what information may be shared, and how involvement will be handled before care proceeds.
Fees depend on whether the plan includes youth, caregiver, family, or group sessions. Coverage must be confirmed for each assigned clinician and service format before treatment begins.
YOUR QUESTIONS
Not necessarily. Involvement is tailored to development, consent, safety, family patterns, and the treatment plan.
No. Families are included because they are important partners in safety, reinforcement, communication, and skill generalization—not to assign blame.
Yes. Fit is based on the emotional and behavioural pattern, risk, functioning, and developmental needs.
The clinician assesses willingness, coercion, safety, caregiver options, and whether preparatory or parent-focused work is more realistic.
No. Privacy, technology, risk, developmental capacity, environment, and the ability to implement a safety plan are reviewed.
Tell us what has been difficult and what you hope to change. A clinician reviews your needs and explains the recommended support, practical arrangements, and next steps.
No referral is needed to contact the clinic. Your funding provider may have separate referral or authorization requirements.
