Live Online Webinar
Friday, June 18, 2021
9:30am–12:30pm EDT

NYSED and ASWB/ACE approved for 3 CE contact hours

This webinar is designed to familiarize mental health professionals with treatment strategies incorporating principles from dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), an evidence based treatment, which was originally developed by Marsha Linehan, PhD, for individuals with borderline personality disorder (BPD). DBT has now been adapted to various clinical populations, including high conflict families (Fruzzetti, 2018).

As a result of attending this webinar, participants will be able to:

1. Describe the biological and environmental underpinnings that influence emotional dysregulation in families.
2. Grasp the consequences of chronic emotional dysregulation in families.
3. Identify at least 1-2 specific strategies for breaking the chain of emotional dysregulation in families.
