A continuation of STEPPS groups for extra support, STAIRWAYS is an ongoing group and can be joined at any time. 

STAIRWAYS is a one-year, twice-monthly advanced group program developed for clients with borderline personality disorder / emotional intensity who have completed the 20-week STEPPS program.

STEPPS vs STAIRWAYS:

• STEPPS teaches emotion management and behavioral skills to help those with borderline personality disorder / emotional intensity survive.
• The goal of STAIRWAYS is to help participants thrive.

STAIRWAYS represents the skills you learn in this program:

• Setting goals
• Trying new things
• Anger management
• Impulsivity control
• Relationship management
• Writing a script
• Assertiveness training
• Your choices
• Staying on track

The main benefits of STAIRWAYS come from:

• Identifying how additional skills might help overcome problems participants are still having
• Reinforcing the skills to manage emotional intensity
• Applying the new skills to specific goals and challenges in our lives, such as getting a job, taking a class, expanding their social life, etc.
