DBT: The Workplace Mental Health Tool You Haven't Considered Yet
When your team faces high-pressure deadlines, interpersonal conflict, or emotional overwhelm, what skills do they actually have to cope? Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) offers practical, evidence-based techniques that address emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness—challenges that directly impact workplace performance and absenteeism rates.
Originally developed for complex emotional regulation issues, DBT has proven remarkably effective in organisational settings. It equips employees with concrete tools: mindfulness practices to manage stress in real-time, communication strategies to navigate difficult conversations, and coping mechanisms that reduce impulsivity and improve decision-making under pressure. For HR leaders and wellness coordinators, DBT skills training can be delivered through structured group sessions (available online), making it a cost-effective intervention that builds team resilience whilst reducing conflict. What's the biggest emotional challenge your workforce faces right now—and could structured skills training address it?
