DBT TRAINING UPDATE

Although we strongly recommend completing the entire training to ensure integration of theory into practice, due to requests from DBT teams already intensively trained we have negotiated with Professor Fruzzetti for a Part 1 only training option ($1500 GST incl).

Option 1:
12 Day Comprehensive DBT Training (completion leads toward DBT Therapist Certification and/or DBT adherent team)

Option 2:
Part 1 only DBT Training (for participants on fully-formed DBT teams)

Please contact our Clinical Manager Dr. Shelley Harvill (sharvill@twm.org.nz) to discuss options or any support we may be able to provide to ensure you are able to attend this important training.

DBT Consultation team requirements

  • Participants are required to attend in groups of two or more (preference is teams of 4 or more persons) who will continue as a peer consultation team during and after the training is completed.
  • Individuals who plan to join an existing consultation team at their clinical site are welcome also.
  • Ongoing participation in a DBT consultation team is required. If you wish to attend and need to be linked in with others to form a new DBT consult team please contact Dr. Shelley Harvill, TWM DBT Clinical Manager to discuss whether this may be possible (sharvill@twm.org.nz).
