Abstract

The challenge of providing a virtual Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) group to high-risk youth involves managing the neurodiverse needs and attention struggles of participants. This initiative focused on enhancing youth engagement in a DBT virtual group program by developing an asynchronous learning approach to a DBT skills program and including a parent/guardian component.
