Positive Kids educational resource

DBT-informed skills: an educational overview

Positive Kids does not provide DBT therapy or DBT skills groups. DBT is a clinical treatment that should be delivered by appropriately trained professionals when indicated.

Pause and notice

Slow down long enough to identify what is happening internally and externally.

Name the choice point

Separate the feeling or impulse from the next action that serves the learner’s goal.

Seek clinical support when needed

Persistent distress, self-harm concerns, crisis needs, or treatment questions require a licensed professional or emergency resource.

Educational scope and trusted information

This page provides general educational information and cannot evaluate an individual learner. For diagnosis, medication, nutrition, mental health, DBT, counseling, or treatment, consult an appropriately licensed professional.

Trusted starting points include the CDC ADHD resources and the National Institute of Mental Health ADHD overview.
