DBT-informed parent guidance supports parents of children, adolescents, and young adults who have emotion regulation and behavioral difficulties. Many parents feel overwhelmed and unsure of how to effectively offer support while maintaining stability within the family.

This structured, skills-based approach emphasizes psychoeducation and practical skill development, helping parents better understand their child’s emotional experiences and learn effective, compassionate strategies for responding to intense emotions, self-harm, suicidal ideation, anxiety, depression, interpersonal conflict, and more. Parents receive guidance in validating emotions, setting clear and consistent limits, reducing family tension, and managing their own emotional responses during challenging situations, with the goal of fostering greater connection and emotional well-being for the entire family.
