NEW Programs!

MHS is excited to announce the addition of three new programs to our services. These programs have been borne out of great need our practitioners have seen in our community, and developed out of years of experience.

RISE – DBT for Trauma

The RISE DBT Program is designed for individuals dealing with PTSD who would like to manage  symptoms without reliving traumatic memories, and for those who haven’t tolerated or seen results from other treatments.

RISE was originally developed by experts at Mental Health Systems for the Department of Justice, and offers a skills-based DBT program specifically designed to target PTSD symptoms. With a focus on teaching practical skills to “extinguish the fire of symptoms,” RISE empowers you to manage your symptoms effectively and build a satisfying life without reliving your trauma.

Roots – DBT for Perinatal Health

The Perinatal DBT program is for individuals who are pregnant or who have given birth in the last two years, and experienced either an onset of mental health symptoms related to the pregnancy OR a worsening of existing mental health symptoms related to pregnancy.

The program teaches DBT skills to help you manage mental health symptoms that are connected to pregnancy and being a new parent, and offers an opportunity to connect with others who are navigating perinatal mental health symptoms.

Waypoint for Teens – DBT for Addictions

The Waypoint for Teens program is for individuals between the ages of 14 and 18 looking to work towards and maintain sobriety from substances as well as improve their mental health.

This program adapts our consistently successful adult DBT program for addiction recovery, Waypoint, to better relate to a teenage mindset, attitude and situation. Waypoint for Teens teaches DBT skills to promote healthy coping in a supportive environment and works collaboratively with established treatment teams and other professionals. It is an ideal option for clients who need ongoing support after residential or inpatient treatment.
