FREE community series designed for anyone interested in strengthening their recovery and improving their mental health.

Introducing THE DBT RECOVERY ACTION GROUP

A FREE community workshop series, led by a certified peer specialist and coach, that isolates one actionable DBT skill per week.

We'll help you turn abstract coping mechanisms into accessible physical cues and tools that strengthen your emotional sobriety.

At A Glance: Our 6-Week Group Agenda

[ Week 1 Focus ] ──► Distress Tolerance. What to do when anxiety, cravings, or anger hit a 10/10 and executive function completely vanishes.

[ Week 2 Focus ] ──► Core Mindfulness. Navigating major life transitions without getting hijacked by the "Over-Caffeinated Anxious Mind" or the "Depressive Numb Mind."

[ Week 3 Focus ] ──► Distress Tolerance. Turning fight-or-flight energy into peaceful execution when facing a permanent loss, a past mistake, or an unchangeable reality.

[ Week 4 Focus ] ──► Emotion Regulation. Overcoming the behavioral traps of depression (isolation, inertia) and ADHD (avoidance/analysis paralysis).

[ Week 5 Focus ] ──► Interpersonal Effectiveness. How to ask for what you need or say "no" to protect your sobriety and mental health without creating explosive conflict.

[ Week 6 Focus ] ──► Emotion Regulation. Building a physical shield against emotional relapse by taking care of the biological engine.

Workshop agenda is subject to change at the facilitator's discretion.

Everyone is welcome. This offering is 100% cost-free. We hope you'll join us at TRG-Hillsboro.

Attendance at all six workshops is encouraged to get the most from this offering.
