RO DBT Skills Classes

Each skills module is a closed group meaning that you can only enter the group at the beginning of each module. The first week of each module contains a 5 minute introduction (you are free to invite your family, friends and health care practitioners to attend this so they can understand the treatment better).

RO DBT self-paced skills lessons

Karen has been writing elearning modules since before COVID-19. Her elearning modules have been used to train doctors, nurses, allied health professionals including psychologists around the world. Some of her elearning modules have been featured at conferences and consistently have great feedback from past students. 

In order to meet the needs of a diverse group of participants, Karen has also converted RO DBT skills classes for self-paced learning. This is an option for those who do not meet the age groups for existing skills classes or where people cannot attend the skills classes at the dates/times listed. Past skills class learners may also find accessing this elearning package useful. 

You will expect access to video recordings, activities, ability to upload and obtain feedback for homework exercises. Karen has also provided a summary of what others have shared in past RO DBT skills groups to hear from the perspectives of others.
