What Is

Cayuga County Mental Health is excited to introduce DBT in Schools to participating Cayuga County school districts in hopes of teaching ALL students DBT-based skills. These skills have been proven to help young people manage difficult emotional situations, cope with stress, and make better decisions — to name but a few of the program’s objectives. Additionally, introducing these skills in the class can also help identify students who need more in-depth one-on-one attention.
