(December 9, 2021) John Garbett, Founding Partner CRAFT Connect, successfully completed Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) Intensive Training.
"Every great therapist knows they need to develop and refine many skills to help their clients get better. Come interactively learn the foundations, the skills, structures, and the strategies of DBT" Eric Schmidt, CEO of New Roads Behavioral Health, MSW, LCSW, MBA.
This 10-day training was led by Schmidt, a Certified Clinician from the DBT-Linehan Board of Certification. This certification is awarded to those who have demonstrated extensive knowledge of DBT, proven ability to deliver DBT treatment with adherent fidelity to the evidence-based model, and have established through mindfulness practice. Eric is one of 500 in the U.S., 2,000 in the world to earn this distinction. Intensively trained DBT practitioners that supported the training included Jordan Harmon who received his MSW in 2008 and is currently a therapist and Program Director of the Women's Program at New Roads (W.R.T.H. – Women’s Roads to Healing), Nicole Manwaring, Residential Program Manager at W.R.T.H., and Nicole Shaw LCSW and Director of the Outpatient Program.
New Roads Behavioral Health's family of treatment programs are based upon a holistic, community-focused treatment approach, with a foundation in research and results. New Roads has residential treatment, transitional living, and outpatient options for their clients. There are three distinct and completely separate programs within the residential and transitional living focus: Pathways to Healing (PATH), Women’s Road to Healing (WoRTH), and New Roads to Healing (NoRTH). PaTH is a dual-diagnosis treatment program for young men between the ages of 18-28 struggling with substance abuse and mental health concerns. WoRTH is a program designed specifically for young women that focuses on both substance abuse and mental health disorders (including borderline personality disorder) with a strong emphasis on Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). NoRTH is designed to assist clients with severe mental health disorders in achieving independence by teaching them how to successfully live a life with their diagnoses.
