WHO?

10 members who identify as BIPOC and have an individual therapist. Participants must be CA residents. This group can be for those who experience emotional flooding or dissociation, or have difficulty validating your own pain or experiences.

WHAT?

Lets be real. Life is painful for a lot of us BIPOC folks for a lot of different reasons. In our DBT skills group, you’ll learn skills to manage difficult emotions, to engage in problem solving, and nurture empathy for ourselves and others to get us closer to a thriving life as we see it - amongst community with shared/similar experiences.

DBT group is split up into three 8-week "modules", which include: distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness strategies. In these modules, participants will learn to survive and get through crises, develop skills to build emotional resilience, to make and maintain relationships that align with our values, and to use mindfulness to stay in the present moment.

WHY?

DBT has been revealed to be an incredibly effective therapy intervention, but it is an expensive resource, and predominated by white practitioners. NT hopes to offer valuable skills and information for BIPOC folks by BIPOC folks in a more accessible manner, and actively integrates the reality of living within multiple systems of oppression as BIPOC people with intersecting identities.

COST?

$80/session, limited sliding scale spots available. Attendance in all 8 sessions are mandatory, as the group is learning-based and each week builds upon one another.
