IMO, it should be a high school class for all seniors because these skills are what EVERY person needs to know to become more functional in this world & to deal with ALL kinds of stressful situations. Here in the area of the US I live in, it's the community mental health center that offers the 2 year DBT group then offers for those who made it through that, the DBT Next Step group where we come once a week to continually validate & check out how we are doing with the DBT skills.
