      abstract = {Direct-care staff at a residential treatment center in  Oregon require evidence-based training so that they can  respond to dysregulated clients at high risk of  Non-Suicidal Self-Harm (NSSI) in a way that is effective,  patient-centered and trauma-informed. Dialectical  Behavioral Therapy (DBT) has been implemented in similar  settings and client populations to the project site, is  trauma-informed and focuses on development of skills that  staff can use to coach clients. Project aims included  direct-care staff?s acquisition and understanding of DBT  skills via in-person and pre-recorded video training  sessions. Measures of the intervention's success included  percentage of staff trained and rate of perceived change in  acquisition, knowledge and utility of DBT skills. In order  to assess unintentional outcomes of the intervention,  staffing levels and frequency of turnover were analyzed.  Data was limited due to a high rate of survey non-response  but showed modest improvements in skills acquisition and  perceived utility following in-person training. This  project adds to an under-represented topic in the  literature, and which could benefit from future improvement  efforts.},
