On-campus Therapeutic Intervention
Sometimes this is your last hope in helping your child. Interventions such as school-based and outpatient counseling have not been successful in treating maladaptive behavior. Or maybe there is a crisis or need for intensive therapeutic treatment. At Bellefaire JCB, we offer several distinct residential programs located in secure units on our 32-acre campus. Our programs, accredited by The Joint Commission, are specifically ideal for youth 11 through 17 with acute crises and/or prolonged and pervasive behavioral problems,

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) is a unique and specialized form of cognitive behavioral therapy used to help adolescents and families build a life worth living. In a nutshell, DBT aims at teaching people effective ways to manage their emotions and behaviors. Unlike cognitive behavioral therapy DBT focuses on dialectics-there is no absolute truth. dialectics- the ability to have seemingly opposite or contradictory feelings or thoughts, at the same time (my mom frustrates and angers me so much, and yet I still love her) without these apparently contradictive thoughts causing confusion.
DBT focuses on changing problematic thought patterns as well as teaching skills so clients can effectively manage their emotions, figure out who they are, decrease impulsivity, decrease interpersonal problems and family conflict.
So why do we use DBT? Not only is DBT a proven and effective method of treatment for people with significant challenges managing severe behavioral and emotional difficulties including Borderline Personality Disorder, Substance Use Disorder and many other mental health diagnoses. The skills taught can greatly benefit adolescents, adults, and anyone who might want to improve their ability to better manage their emotions, behaviors, and relationships.
