A Worldwide Movement Begins
It was an honor to sit down with Michaela Swales to discuss the inaugural World DBT Summit. We talked about the vision for this historic event, the power of bringing the global DBT community together, and why this summit marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter for DBT worldwide.
DBT-LBC is proud to join the very first group of clinicians, researchers, and DBT professionals from around the globe at the World DBT Summit, hosted by Michaela Swales and Alec Miller. This is more than a conference. It’s the beginning of a worldwide collaboration dedicated to advancing DBT, sharing knowledge, inspiring innovation, and strengthening our global community.
Together, we are stronger, and together, our global community can build something that is only possible through collaboration, connection, and a shared mission.
