In this uncertain time, our DBT clients with serious and persistent mental illness need our help more than ever. Yet many of our most vulnerable clients cannot access vital services, making telehealth a literal lifeline.

Yet questions remain: How do therapists take an organized treatment like DBT and use it in a new service delivery? What DBT skills and interventions are most essential? And how do we address safety concerns remotely?
