WHAT MEMBERS ARE SAYING
"I just want to take a minute and give a shout-out to Deborah and the team! Everyone involved has put so much time and effort into making this a meaningful experience and it shows! I always enjoy the resources. This gives me an alternative way to help my clients learn and remember the skills. They've made it interesting and interactive. I truly see the value. As a clinician who is not comfortable using music. I love that I can show the videos directly to my clients. "
- Hillary C.
"Thank you for this wonderful resource! I use it constantly for new creative ideas to engage my clients, and so did my intern. "
- Nola K.
"I want to share what happened today. I have a client who has ADHD and has difficulty retaining information. Once he learned the skills through song, he was able to tell the group word for word what the letters in DEARMAN stand for and how to use it. (He said he then had the DEARMAN song stuck in his head for hours.) This is huge! Thank you so much for helping clients like him remember the skills."
-Deborah S.

How do I know music is effective for teaching DBT skills?
The DBT Skills Mastery through Music Membership is based on evidence-based practices and music based interventions that have been used successfully by clinicians.
At study completed at Kalamazoo Psychiatric Hospital compared traditional DBT skills groups with groups that incorporated music therapy led by a Board Certified DBT- informed music therapist. Results published in the Journal of Music Therapy in 2022 show significantly favorable outcomes when music therapy was included.
While this membership does not make one a music therapist, any more than reading a book on DBT would make someone a DBT therapist, it provides creative ways to incorporate music into DBT skills training effectively and ethically.
