Family sessions in DBT: Where to start?
Wednesday 17th April 2024 10am –11:30am (Sydney/Melbourne Time)
Online registrations closed on 15 April 2024 for this training.
A 90 minute web-based training
For people engaged in DBT, often relationships with loved ones are fraught and painful. At the same time, part of what makes them painful is that those relationships are so important to the person seeking help. The current web-training offers an overview of the research on engaging families as allies in DBT, broad principles to consider when deciding when and how to include family members in treatment, and resources and strategies that can inform your work with your DBT client and their loved ones.
This online web training is designed to support practitioners in their DBT practice and professional development. In addition to didactic teaching, the training may involve activities, discussion and Q+A for participants. You will need a suitable device with a webcam and a reliable internet connection capable of streaming 'youtube' style video. The training may include showing footage of clinical sessions, hence, participants will need to join the training from an environment that is private. When registered, we will send more information about the process of joining and particpating in the Zoom meeting.
This web-based training includes sensitive and private material and examples. Please join in a confidential setting where others cannot see or hear the content of the training.
Note: if this training is sold out then you will be able to join a waitlist. If we repeat this training then those on the waiting list will be the first to be offered a place for the new training.

Dr Emily Cooney is a clinical psychologist who has worked in the US, the UK, and New Zealand with children and adults in a range of inpatient and outpatient settings, with a particular focus on DBT. She is a senior lecturer at Otago University and an assistant professor adjunct at the Yale School of Medicine, where she co-directed the DBT and DBT for substance use disorder teams within an Intensive Outpatient Program. Emily served as a research therapist on two trials of DBT under Dr Marsha Linehan, and was the principal investigator on two DBT feasibility trials in New Zealand. One examined DBT for self-harming adolescents, and the other trialed DBT skills training for men with anger-related problems. She provides training and consultation in DBT via Behavioral Tech as well as DBTNZ, and her current research focusses on whānau-oriented intervention and research for people experiencing family violence and suicidal thoughts and behaviour.
