Parents' DBT Group

Be Part of the Solution | Not the Conflict

 

At Inspired, we’ve seen it time and again: teens, young

adults, and adults do best when their parents and family

members speak the same DBT language. This Massachusetts

group is designed to help parents gain the skills, strategies, and

confidence to support their loved one and take care of

themselves in the process.

 

Why Join the DBT Parent Group?

 

Parenting someone with emotion regulation challenges

can be exhausting, confusing, and isolating. This group

gives you a roadmap to:

 

• Communicate more effectively (without escalating the conversation)

• Manage your own anxiety during emotionally charged moments

• Respond constructively to mood swings, shutdowns, or crisis behaviors

• Build a more connected, supportive relationship with your child

 

What You’ll Learn

 

• Skills to de-escalate conflict and help your teen feel heard

• Strategies to balance limits with empathy, without giving in or giving up

• Tools to recognize when behavior is normal vs. a red flag

• Safety planning skills for moments of crisis, including self-harm risks

 

This group is for any parent who wants to stop walking on eggshells and start working with their child, not against them.

 

Let us help you feel supported, equipped, and part of the path forward.
