2019 DBT Summer Program for College Students
2019 Princeton DBT Skills Groups and Schedules
Dear Colleagues:
I am excited to announce that we will be offering our DBT Summer Program for College Students again this year.
This weekly group is for first-time, as well as returning, college students to help prepare them for the many challenges of entering or re-entering college life. DBT skills will not only help the participants manage college related transitions, but will be part of a student’s emotion regulation toolbox throughout the many challenges they will face in their young adult life and beyond.
I have a flyer for it (pictured above) and and more information about our other current group offerings in the next segment . Please feel free to email or call with questions. Thank you!
