Summary

This treatment development study is aimed at developing and pilot testing a 20-week remotely delivered group intervention that integrates two evidence-based treatments: 1) Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) Skills - targeting parental emotion dysregulation and substance use, and 2) Parent Training (PT) - targeting parenting behaviors linked to children's mental health. The case study will provide preliminary data on the feasibility of the DBT Skills +PT intervention and its engagement of the targeted outcomes, and aims to complete foundational steps necessary to conducting a future, larger scale randomized controlled trial.

Specific aims are to:

1. Determine feasibility, acceptability and implementation.
2. Evaluate pre-post changes in measures of parental emotion dysregulation, parenting quality and children's mental health.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

DBT Skills + Parent Training

The DBT Skills +PT group intervention integrates DBT Skills, Parent Management Training (PMT), and Emotion Coaching (EC). Each session includes a mindfulness practice, homework review to discuss use of skills previously learned, didactics to learn a new set of DBT and PT skills, and assignment of homework. The DBT Skills portions cover the four modules of traditional DBT Skills: Mindfulness, Emotion Regulation, Distress Tolerance (including skills specifically focused on managing difficulties with addiction), and Interpersonal Effectiveness. PT skills include both PMT and EC components such as: praise, use of parental attention to reward positive behavior, reward systems, effective commands and consequences, psychoeducation on children's emotional development, teaching children to label emotions, validating children's emotions, and handling children's negative emotions, and fostering positive emotions.
