DBT options?

[BT400]

Has anyone on her used DBT for their child?  If so, how did it go?  Were there any good results from it?

Are there any options anyone knows about for DBT therapy online that my 13 year old daughter can do?

Our objective is to better understand the struggles our child faces and to learn the skills to improve our relationship and provide a supportive environment and also improve on our own emotional responses, attitudes and effectiveness as a family leaders

McLean Hospital uses DBT in their youth programs for BPD, PTSD, and suicidality. McLean is often considered as providing the gold standard of BPD care, so if they provide DBT, I would suspect some level of success. Check out their site and watch some of their patient videos when you get a chance.

The website dbtselfhelp.com has free online resources, though I'm not sure that they're specifically designed for teens. Could be worth a look.

i hope I don't open up to "grief", however, my 24 y/o pw BPD started DBT therapy a year ago...coincidentally, that is when she stopped speaking to me, my husband, her sister & cut off contact with her beloved nieces; she told me she needed to seperate herself from the trauma & memories (I do not recall ANY trauma in our house (we had STRESS like any family) anyway...that is all I know about it, I am not saying it is good or bad

I appreciate you sharing your experience. It seems like it’s all a crapshoot with these personalities.
