This course is designed for child psychologists, social workers, and other mental health professionals who do not have DBT Foundational or Intensive training but wish to do the DBT-C training.

Yes. It provides a general understanding and could be a good introduction before taking standard DBT Foundational training. It is open to anyone, even students, but does not certify or license participants.

Superparenting is primarily for parents and caregivers of emotionally sensitive children. Caregivers could include extended family members, teachers, mental health professionals who are not licensed clinicians but want to learn about DBT-C strategies, or anyone else who interacts with emotionally sensitive children. It may also be useful for therapists interested in applying the material in their practice, therapists refreshing their DBT-C training, or those preparing for DBT-C training for the first time.

Part 1 is designed for parents, but children (15 and older) who want to improve their relationship with themselves may benefit from Part 2. Younger children or siblings might attend parts of Part 1 if it helps them understand and validate each other.

Part 1 focuses on external strategies (helping children regulate emotions and function better), while Part 2 targets internal strategies (helping children build self-awareness and apply learned skills). While they can be taken separately, they complement each other.

If they are part of your household and will be attending together, they can share access. However, if they will be accessing it separately, they need their own registration.
