Welcome to Dialectical Skills Groups

The Need

Research indicates that 21^st-century youth are drowning in an ocean of stressors: trauma, school demands, peer pressures, social media, bullying, poor self-image, post-graduation decisions, family financial problems, addictions, negative ruminating thoughts, anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges, to name but a few.

A Tier 2 Solution

Dialectical Skills Groups (DSG’s) equip students with essential emotional self-regulation and healthy relationship tools. These competencies, necessary for youth’s mental well-being and relationship effectiveness, also support success in school, extra-curriculars, work and everyday life – all within the familiarity, convenience and comfort of school-based skills groups.
