<h2>Course Overview</h2><p>DBT Skills in Schools: Skills Training for Emotional Problem Solving for Elementary (DBT STEPS-E) is in development. The STEPS-E curriculum is a universal social emotional learning (SEL) curriculum designed for elementary students in educational settings. </p><p>The DBT STEPS-E curriculum is being designed to help children develop coping strategies and decision-making abilities under emotional distress. The DBT STEPS-E curriculum is based on the skills of comprehensive Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) that have shown to be effective with both adults and adolescents experiencing mild to severe levels of emotional and behavioral difficulties. This curriculum is adapted from DBT STEPS-A and is currently in development. </p><p>The training design of the DBT STEPS-E curriculum is to establish four basic elements necessary in implementing the curriculum effectively: </p><p> 1.

<h2>Trainee Reviews</h2><blockquote>“Once again, you were a fabulous presenter and I am SUPER impressed by the amount of energy you exhibited throughout the training, especially considering we began at 5:00 AM your time! Your ability to incorporate responses of the audience is fantastic! You really make the importance of this visible to everyone, despite the discipline they teach daily. I enjoyed every minute!”</blockquote><blockquote>“The way I talk and interact with my students will be enhanced through this practice. I also believe that helping students learn the DBT way to be mindful and how to regulate their emotions will ultimately positively impact my class but also create a better member of our society. I also like the distress tolerance piece, far too many students are unable to be in a place where they are uncomfortable and this is a very important adult skill.”</blockquote><blockquote>“We cannot stop life from happening. DBT STEPS-A training can provide  kids the skills they need to survive and thrive into adulthood - no matter what life throws at them.”</blockquote><blockquote>“Excellent curriculum and training!”</blockquote><blockquote>“I have an entire program that comes with a full tool box that, as a team, we can implement. The “plug and play” curriculum with 30 lessons already scripted will help make it easy to incorporate into the pre-existing programs.”</blockquote>
