DBT Brazil is an organization committed to the promotion, dissemination, and strengthening of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) in Brazil. Our training program is tutored by Behavioral Tech (Seattle-USA) and enables mental health professionals across the country to develop the DBT approach in a serious, ethical, committed, and proficient way.
The professionals involved in this project are part of a highly trained and performing work team. All training work is guided by a modern teaching/learning method, which advocates freedom of thought and the importance of education to achieve excellence every day. All this is so that DBT teams are formed that are really trained to work with patients with serious, complex problems and intense suffering.
Our purpose is to offer hope to millions of suffering individuals in Brazil who, until the arrival of DBT, had no evidence-based treatment.
