DBT for Children (DBT-C)


  • Does your child exhibit out of control behaviors?
  • Are you afraid or anxious to take your child out in public?
  • Do you feel like you’re being held hostage by your child?
  • Does your child yell or scream at you?
  • Does your child try to hit or bite you?
  • Does your child get in trouble/suspended/expelled from school?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, you and your child would likely benefit from DBT-C – Dialectical Behavior Therapy for Children. PEP offers this exclusive program in both our traditional Outpatient setting as well as our Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP).
