Dialectical Behaviour Therapy

Things it might be helpful to know about this program:

  • Dialectical Behavioral therapy (DBT) is a form of therapy that aims to teach people how to live in the moment, develop healthy ways to cope with stress, regulate emotions and improve relationships with others.
  • The service is open to all Reconnect clients that have a case manager. Your case manager would provide an internal referral for you.
  • DBT is a yearlong program. Each individual in the program attends a weekly, 2-hour DBT group and will be assigned a one-to-one coach who they will meet with weekly.
  • DBT offers an introductory group for participants who are either waiting for the one-year program or trying to decide if this service is the right fit for them.


Once in service you can expect the following:

  • Your status and progress will be documented.
  • You will be asked to agree not to miss four consecutive sessions either with your one-to-one DBT coach or four consecutive DBT group sessions.
  • Your coach and the DBT group facilitators will be available to you for problem solving.
