The Department of Counseling and Human Services will hold a dialectical behavior therapy seminar Saturday, October 24 from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. in Grupp Fireside Lounge. Attendees will gain an understanding of borderline personality disorder (BDP), as well as how to work with those affected with BPD and self-injurious behavior.
This counseling seminar will provide a broad understanding of dialectical behavior therapy and the populations most appropriate for this approach. This workshop will provide attendees with an understanding of how borderline personality disorder develops and how to identify those young clients at risk for this diagnosis.
Attendees will be provided with mini-assessment guidelines and specific intervention tools for helping clients to modulate their emotions as well as specific “do’s” and “don’ts” of working with this population.
The price to attend is $25.00 for Canisius College students. Lunch is also included. If you have any questions, call 888-3298 or email Dr. Holly Fetter at tanigosh@canisius.edu.
