Below sharing many great workshops offered by CMHA-Highly recommend

I highly recommend all of these workshops. Allison is a phenomenal facilitator who is very passionate about these topics and knows so much about DBT and so much more. She is very patient and flexible. I did find that I would use what I learned in my everyday life without realizing I was doing it. Check this out:
