DBT (Dialectical Behaviour Therapy) Skills Group

What is DBT?

 

DBT Skills Group is designed to help us develop emotional wisdom, learn to effectively deal with self-defeating behaviours and emotional distress, and help build relationship skills.

 

As with all the work we do at Brook RED, people do not need a diagnosis to access our group. They only need to recognise that they struggle with their mental wellness and be willing to work on it.

 

A DBT-informed group requires a high level of commitment and eagerness by those who wish to attend. We encourage people to join who believe they are ready to learn and practice skills and are also willing to share their experiences of change within the group. Please note, this is not a full DBT course but we do still require a commitment of full attendance from participants.

Referral Process
Due to increasing demand for our no-cost DBT programs, the waitlist for our structured DBT groups is temporarily closed. We will update this page once we are taking referrals again.

We are still offering our popular DBT Lite groups at Upper Mount Gravatt and Beenleigh. These are a less structured way to learn DBT skills and dip your toe in the water. The times for these are updated monthly on our community calendars here: https://www.brookred.org.au/community-centres

As a lived experience workforce, we understand the barriers of accessing mental health programs. We would encourage you to come and check out what Brook Red is about, by visiting our communities at Upper Mount Gravatt, Beenleigh, Birkdale and South Brisbane.

For any questions or more information, please contact our DBT coordinator via email at: saraha@brookred.org.au
