Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) for the Queer Community
December 13, 2024 - 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM ET
This course will focus on the usage of Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) with the Queer community in addressing mental health concerns. The Queer community experiences a large amount of discrimination, both on a micro and macro lens that leads to ongoing stressors. These stressors and environmental factors lead to a higher prevalence rate of mental illness within the Queer community. DBT, an evidence-based psychotherapy, has been shown to be beneficial for overall mental health, addressing self-injurious behaviors, emotional challenges, Major Depressive Disorder, Borderline Personality Disorder, and Generalized Anxiety Disorder. This course will address how to apply and use DBT with clients from the LGBTQIA2S+ community in an affirming and validating way.
This course will cover Minority Stress Theory, and Biosocial Theory as well as review and introduce skills from the 4 core modules of DBT, mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotional regulation and effective communication. -

Note: This course is available for free to U-M SSW alumni as part of our Alumni Webinar Series, which features invited alumni speakers. Please know that non-alumni participants are welcome to register as well!
Americans have historically been optimists. But that's changed significantly in recent decades. Trust in almost all institutions has fallen significantly, many people don't believe the news they see or read, and these realities create significant problems for agencies and their leaders.
In this webinar, we'll identify the benefits of optimism, discuss why optimism is hard for many today, and offer six practical methods for maintaining/increasing your optimism, and for helping others do the same. -
