“A DBT consultation team is a group of DBT providers who work together to treat clients. A team has 3 to 8 people, and it could include a combination of providers who may have different roles or professional credentials (e.g., psychologists also working on a team with a psychiatrist). Providers meet regularly with their team – often weekly – to help one another and manage the high stress and potential burnout of treating clients at high risk of suicide. So, while a mental health provider may start on his or her DBT training path as an individual, it is assumed that anyone doing DBT can only do effective DBT in the context of a team. ”
