Participation in a DBT consultation team is a crucial aspect of providing comprehensive DBT treatment. The team is comprised of individual therapists, skills trainers, case managers, psychiatrists, and any others who help treat DBT clients.
Providers meet weekly as a team to motivate one another, seek and share guidance, manage the high stress and potential burnout that often comes with treating clients at high risk of suicide, and hold each other accountable to the guiding principles of DBT.
At BCSC, we conceptualize our DBT program as a community of therapists treating a community of clients.
