DBT Skills Groups

DBT for Adults

Our adult DBT skills group is on pause

We are not running a winter round of our 24-week adult DBT skills group. Right now we don’t have the funding to run it, and we’re using this time to look at how the program is structured so we can bring it back stronger.

We hope to restart in the spring. We usually post the next group around May 1, so please check back then. We don’t keep a waitlist.

If you’d like to help bring the adult group back, you can donate at the link below. Every gift goes toward keeping DBT skills training affordable for people in BC.

DBT Graduate Group

The Graduate Group is for adults who have already completed a DBT skills program and want to keep practising. It’s a place to strengthen your skills, work through real situations with others who understand, and keep building a life worth living.

This is a skills-building group, not crisis support or treatment.

  • When: Wednesdays, 5:30 to 7:00 pm PT

  • Where: Online

  • Length: 16 weeks to start. After that, you can stay on week by week.

  • Cost: $25 per session, or $400 for the 16 weeks

  • Also included: a one-on-one meeting to build your own DBT Skills Plan

  • Intake: Rolling. We review new applications monthly and welcome people in as spots open up.

Who can join

  • Adults 18 and older living in BC

  • You’ve completed all four DBT modules (mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness)

  • You can commit to the first 16 weeks

  • No self-injurious or suicidal behaviour in the past three months

DBT for Adolescents & Caregivers

Our multi-family pilot ran from January to July 2025. Future groups are on hold for now, and we’ll share news here when that changes.

Please Note: We do not maintain a waitlist for any of our DBT Skills Training Groups.

Looking for support right now?

Our peer support groups are free, with no referral and no waitlist. They’re run by trained volunteers with lived experience of BPD, and family members and supporters are welcome too. [Find a group] or visit our [general resources page].
