Practice what your preach: Skills for Reducing Stress in Behavioral Health Care

Individuals in the behavioral health field often face significant stressors in the workplace. While they often teach the people they serve skills to reduce stress, they do not always engage in those skills themselves. Emily Dreher, a Linehan Board Certified DBT Clinician, has been teaching Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills for over a decade and has found they have been beneficial not only in her clients’ lives but in her own as well. This training will teach the participants specific DBT skills that can reduce stress and improve quality of life in the workplace.

This training is presented by Emily Dreher, LPC, DBT-LC. In this training, you will receive an overview of the underlying theories and procedures of Prolonged Exposure, identify individuals who may benefit from the treatment, and debunk myths about exposure treatment for PTSD. Behavioral Health professionals who attend may apply for CEUs. This event will be open to the community with limited spots available.
