Program Development

The decision to convert an existing program to the DBT model calls for thoughtful planning. Bridge consultants have extensive experience planning and implementing successful new programming. We can help your organization:

  • Plan for program transition to DBT treatment model

  • Create customized DBT systems that suit your clientele and program goals

  • Assist in planning and implementing the DBT Consultation Team model

  • Devise a uniquely customized DBT-based behavior management system

  • Develop specialized applications, i.e., skills training for parents

 

Program Assessment

Tracking treatment effectiveness and outcomes is an important component of providing DBT. The challenge is developing a data collection process that is simple and useful. Our consultants are experienced in identifying, tracking and analyzing empirical data, and can help you develop assessment instruments to measure treatment outcomes.
