From little things big things grow – supporting DBT sustainability service and sector wide

Presenter: Natasha Briffa

Life Worth Living Psychology

 

This will be a practical presentation on a combination of (a) sustaining DBT groups in practice from experiences of working in the public sector on a DBT specific project, and (b) DBT treatment for BPD.

Natasha will provide a brief overview of her previous experience being involved in the implementation of DBT programs within the public mental health and NGO sectors and will talk to factors which are pertinent to increasing accessibility and sustainability of DBT services. Natasha will also provide an overview of the DBT treatment approach and will overview the core skills for working well with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD).
