Team Foundational - May 2021

This Team Foundational training is a variation of the current foundational training that is adapted to focus on teams who are extending their current DBT implementations. It is offered to eligible teams that DBTNZ has been working with to assist their developments and/or other teams (of between 4 and 8 members) who intend to implement comprehensive DBT.

If you are a new member of an intensively trained DBT then click here to register for the standard Foundational Training (ie, not this one).

The primary objectives of this Team Foundational training are listed on the Team Ffoundational training page. We will have discussed with your DBT team leader additional specific goals and requirements for this training. Note that other tasks, events and fees will apply to the Team Foundational training.

To register you will need a registration code from us. We will supply this to your team leader who will then have to first register your team. For more information about this option please contact us.

If you are wanting to establish a comprehensive DBT team and would like to discuss this training option then please contact us asap.
