Welcome to Dialectical Skills Groups
The Need
Research indicates that 21st-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.
Dialectical Skills Groups Explained
“I was very impressed with both the content and the way in which the information was delivered. I felt that the two-day training fully equipped me to be able to facilitate a skills group right away. I’ve never been to such a well-organized and effective training as this!”
“Students are hungry for tools to navigate chaos in their lives. Dialectical Skills Groups is the most powerful Tier 2 solution I have ever seen. Countless students, educators and parents speak of tremendous positive growth, both in academics and relationships.”
“The Dialectical Skills Groups have been a tremendous help for our students. These students return to class much more regulated. This allows them to be more successful in their academic classes.”
“The dual enrollment workload is much greater than the regular high school classes; mindfulness helps me not worry and to stay engaged with my schoolwork.”
“I was absolutely an entirely different person before I started this!”
“My whole team felt rejuvenated from discussing and applying the content to our own lives. We found the information applicable to the lives of our residents and the emotional challenges they face daily.”
