A DIFFERENT RESPONSE BECOMES POSSIBLE
Something happens.
A difficult moment. A thought. A feeling.
Emotion and urges rise.
The pull towards a familiar response.
Pause. Bring in a skill.
Practise making another response more available.
Familiar response
Brief relief may come with a familiar cost.
A different response
A skill may change what happens next.
A simplified behavioural chain. In treatment, we also explore vulnerabilities, context, and consequences.
DOES THIS FEEL FAMILIAR?
Knowing what to do can be different from being able to do it.
You may understand your patterns when things are calm—and struggle to reach those same skills when emotions rise.
We work on the cycle, without blaming you.
Your responses make sense in context. Together, we look for places where a different response could help.
FINDING THE RIGHT FIT
You do not have to choose a program alone.
The right starting point depends on your goals, safety, daily functioning, previous treatment, and the kind of support you need.
I want help with my own patterns
Individual treatment shaped around your goals and situations.
I want a stronger skills foundation
Learn skills and practise using them under pressure.
I need a more flexible starting point
Explore guided learning when it is clinically appropriate.
I may need more coordinated support
Review whether the full treatment model fits your needs.
Looking for support with a particular concern?
BPD and bipolar disorder are different conditions and can occur together. For bipolar disorder, DBT skills may support coping and relationships alongside appropriate medical assessment and treatment.
A clinician reviews what you share and recommends a starting point.
Your week becomes part of the clinical conversation.
The STG Diary Card System connects brief daily check-ins, skills practice, clinician review, and plain-language reports. It is designed to help treatment work with what happened between sessions—not only what can be remembered in the room.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Before you begin
Do I need a BPD diagnosis to begin?
No. Intake considers your difficulties, goals, safety, functioning, and treatment history to understand whether DBT may fit.
Is DBT only a group program?
No. We offer individual therapy, skills groups, guided options, comprehensive DBT, and specialized programs. Skills training alone is not the same as comprehensive DBT.
How does this fit with bipolar disorder care?
DBT skills may help with coping, routines, and relationships alongside appropriate medical assessment and treatment. Mood episodes and medication needs require appropriate medical care; DBT is not a replacement for that care.
Can I access care outside La Ronge?
Care options include secure virtual appointments across Saskatchewan when clinically appropriate. Your intake review considers location and service suitability.
What if I am currently unsafe?
DBT Saskatchewan is not an emergency service. For immediate danger, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department. For suicide crisis support, call or text 988. Saskatchewan HealthLine 811 can provide health and mental-health advice.
WHEN YOU ARE READY
You can start with what is happening now.
You do not need a perfect explanation or a confirmed diagnosis. Share what has been difficult, and we will help you explore the next step.
