Australian DBT Institute
The Australian DBT Institute is a specialist service of the Centre for Mental Health Education providing leadership in the delivery of DBT (Dialectical Behaviour Therapy), mindfulness based approaches and modified DBT programs. Each year the institute develops mental health professionals throughout Australia and South East Asia in Dialectical Behaviour Therapy. Our DBT workshops include one day workshops (foundations, skills, individual therapy, AOD populations & youth), four day retreats (Far North Queensland & Thailand) and our twelve month comprehensive training in DBT (Melbourne & Sydney). Each year the Australian DBT Institute is also contracted by individual workplaces to develop their own DBT programs and educate staff onsite. The Australian DBT Institute is also running our trauma informed approach to DBT group programs in Melbourne.
Australian DBT Institute works with partner organisations, including our premier partner Essentia Health, to provide accredited programs that meet the therapeutic needs of individuals with Borderline Personality Disorder and Borderline Personality Disorder traits in Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland. Our accredited partners employ staff trained in the application of DBT and participate in research activities at the Australian DBT Institute.
