Anxiety | Substance Use Disorders | Depression | Alcohol Use DisorderThis study aims to provide access to an adjunct intervention alongside standard group DBT services to examine feasibility, acceptability, and potential added efficacy of the adjunct. The adjunct intervention is an online tool based on DBT skills training and was already evaluated as a self-guided intervention. Participants will complete a baseline session and be given immediate access to the adjunct intervention. Participants will be followed for 12 weeks and complete assessments every 4 weeks.
