KYC will be hosting Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) Skills Training on April 29 and 30.

DBT teaches people to accept their thoughts, feelings and behaviours, and the techniques to change them. Not only are personal skills taught in DBT, but skills for interpersonal relationships are also emphasized. DBT is based on CBT, but it focuses more on the emotional and social aspects of living.

This training is provided under the Safeguards Training for Children and Adult Services agency and is free thanks to a grant from the Ontario Trillium Foundation.  The presenter for this training is Danny Firestone, who brings extensive experienc in both councelling and training in DBT.
