Trauma Treatment: Through a Dialectical Behavior Therapy Lens (Chapter 1-3)

I have been a member of ADAA for the last decade. I have presented at the annual conference, joined Special Interest Groups, encouraged other colleagues to join, and attended the many amazing webinars and trainings. I find ADAA to be a supportive and dependable resource for clinicians and providers. The presentations are excellent, they attract experts in the field, and ADAA also cares for and appreciates their members and community. I have met so many wonderful people, friends, and colleagues through ADAA.
