As
per thought leader and DBT developer Dr. Marsha Linehan’s
guidelines, even though it is optimum to start at Session 1, it is possible to
enroll during the Mindfulness module 3x/year. We call these times the “Open
Enrollment Period.” (OEP) Adults
and teens can join during this OEP until the designated cutoff date, usually
four weeks after the group starts. After
that, enrollment is closed until we finish the module. (Tuition is prorated
to deduct those sessions that are missed.) Students
who join during an OEP will be able to pick up the Mindfulness material in
its essence, and then receive it fully at the beginning of the next module. So
it is possible to jump in "late" during this OEP, but again, it is
always better to start at Session 1 if possible. Onward
and Upward, Lisa
