Beyond therapy, beyond a model: Dr. Marsha Linehan created connection, hope, and a global DBT community. Celebrate her legacy this May!
Around the world, thousands of clinicians practice DBT every day, running skills groups, sitting with high-risk clients, and doing the difficult, meaningful work of helping people build lives worth living.
None of this would exist without the vision of Dr. Marsha Linehan and her colleagues. This May, clinicians across the globe are coming together to celebrate that legacy.
Dr. Linehan didn’t just create a therapy modality, she created a community. It was never meant to be optional or just ‘another thing for clinicians to have to do’. It was a system for maintaining treatment fidelity and a safeguard against clinician burnout. A place where therapists could support one another while doing some of the most emotionally demanding work in mental health.
In honor of Dr. Linehan’s birthday month of May, clinicians worldwide are invited to gather, connect, and celebrate her legacy. Local gatherings provide space to step out of isolation, share experiences, and honor the work she started.
