New! Kate's Monday Mental Health Fact

Introducing Kate's Monday Mental Health Fact!

Every Monday I'll post a mental health fact here. Maybe it's something you already know and can expand upon or maybe it's something new to learn. Let's see if we can get a conversation going or if there is interest maybe we can expand and do a special topic group support discussion.

Today's Monday Mental Health Fact: Did you know that Marsha Linehan is the developer of DBT? Dialectical behavior therapy was originally developed to treat chronically suicidal individuals with borderline personality disorder (BPD). Over time, DBT has been adapted to treat people with multiple different mental illnesses, but most people who are treated with DBT have BPD as a primary diagnosis and is considered the 'gold standard' treatment for people living with BPD.
