[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid did DBT after an in patient hospitalization and we found it tremendously helpful.  It was several hours a week for over a year.

Doing it whole scale in schools for kids without mental health problems seems like a bad idea.  You don’t give insulin to kids without diabetes or adderral to kids with adhd.

For my kid, the mental health awareness stuff they received in McPS middle school definitely made her mental health worse.  It took a kid that was struggling a bit with friendship and hormonal adjustments and made her really perseverance on her mental health and also made her feel like things like depression and cutting were normal responses to stressors.  One of the things I liked about DBT was that it did not focus on endless dialog about what’s wrong with your life but instead focused on acknowledging that things aren’t always perfect, and that’s okay, and giving you skills respond when things are going negatively.  I didn’t love everything about DBT but it’s better than the alternatives for a certain subset of kids.[/quote]

So your kid is a female. The article specifically is talking about boys. [/quote]
