Help Your Teen Stop Self-Harming with
Proven Parenting Tools for Lasting Change

Our DBT Parenting Skills Group is a 12-week program for caregivers of teens
struggling with depression, suicidal thoughts, or self-harm behaviors.

When your teen is struggling with self-destructive behaviors, it’s a parent’s worst nightmare.

You feel terrified, overwhelmed by the thought that your teen might harm themselves. You're angry—at your teen’s reactions, at your partner, and at the world for how everything seems to be falling apart. Grief hits you like a tidal wave because this isn't the life you imagined for your child.

Support for parents of self-harming teens in Pennsylvania

Nothing seems to be working—therapy, groups, even hospitalizations. You’re left feeling isolated, guilty, and afraid that nothing will ever change. You may even blame your teen, believing they aren’t trying hard enough, or worse, that you’re failing as a parent.

But here's the truth: You're not alone, and there is hope.

What you need now is a new tool set—one that goes beyond everything you've tried before. That’s where we come in.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is the gold standard treatment for suicidality and self-harm behaviors, offering a clear path to emotional resilience. 

Our DBT Parenting Skills Group goes beyond surface-level solutions, tackling the root causes of emotional dysregulation. This highly efficient, evidence-based approach leads to sustainable improvements and fewer cycles of teen treatment.

With the support of our DBT Parenting Skills Group, you will:

Break free from guilt and understand that you’re not a bad parent

Gain practical strategies to secure your teen’s safety at home, reducing fear

Learn how to parent a highly sensitive, easily triggered teen, transforming automatic reactions into mindful choices

Discover the exact tools and skills your teen is learning—allowing you to speak the same language, model those skills at home, and create lasting behavior change

Build empathy for your teen's experience while learning self-soothing techniques for yourself

Become part of a supportive community of parents facing similar challenges—you don’t have to navigate this alone

The Key to Lasting Change: Structuring the Home Environment

If your teen has been in therapy or a skills group and things still aren’t changing, this is the missing link. Structuring the home environment with the right tools and support changes everything. Research shows that frontloading effort into a 12-week program like ours decreases the likelihood of future hospitalizations and can significantly reduce overall treatment time.

This isn’t just about solving the immediate problem—it’s about changing the future.

Inside the Group

In our DBT Parenting Skills Group, parents learn a framework that mirrors their teen’s treatment plan and equip themselves with practical tools for genuine and lasting change. Here’s what’s included:

  1. Parent Intake Session: Before joining the group, you’ll start with a comprehensive intake assessment, ensuring we understand your family's specific concerns and can tailor the group experience for maximum impact.

  2. Personalized Recommendations: Following the intake, you’ll receive a tailored plan with specific recommendations to help your teen thrive.

  3. 12-Week Curriculum: Our carefully crafted curriculum teaches you valuable skills to respond effectively to emotional outbursts, avoidance, and overwhelm, while guiding your teen towards healthier choices and ending self-destructive behaviors.

  4. Weekly 90-Minute Sessions: Each session provides space for meaningful discussions, skill-building exercises, and personal support, ensuring that you leave each week feeling more empowered and prepared. We ask for a minimum attendance of at least 10 out of the 12 consecutive sessions for the best results.

  5. One Year Free Access to Online Resource Library: You’ll have exclusive access to our extensive library of tools and resources, ensuring that support is always within reach, even after the program ends.

  6. Investment: The cost to join is $75 per week for the 12-week program. We offer a discounted rate of $100 per week for co-parenting couples attending together. This investment can significantly reduce future treatment costs by preventing hospitalizations and shortening the overall treatment timeline.

  7. Monthly Q&A Bonus: Once the program ends, you'll have access to ongoing monthly Q&A sessions for a full year, so the support doesn’t stop after 12 weeks.

We understand that life is already overwhelming with work, dinners, and extracurriculars, and adding one more commitment might feel impossible. But this 12-week investment can actually reduce future cycles of stress and burnout. Studies show that frontloading your effort now can prevent future hospitalizations and long-term treatment needs, saving you both time and money down the road.

This program is different—it’s evidence-based and designed not only to support your teen but to empower you as a parent. By equipping you with the tools and knowledge to create real change, you’ll help your teen heal faster and ultimately reduce the need for ongoing treatment, so you can all move forward.
