Before starting the program… When a call is made, or an email has been submitted for the free 15 minute consultation, these are some of the things you can expect to discuss. We will first determine if you are requesting teen or adult information. The next steps will be to go through the program overview, the cost and duration of the program. If you are an adult, you will be asked to sign up for at least 14 months to work through the three modules that are taught. Once the first round of the three required modules are completed, the client will repeat the same groups again to help reduce problem behaviors and build a life worth living.  If you are a teen client, you will be asked to sign up for at least six months. Teens have a monthly family session with one or both parents/caregivers and they’ll also attend the group with their teen. We will ask a few follow up questions to fully determine if the program is a good fit for both you, and The DBT Center.
