Tether is a DBT skills companion built for teens — designed to work alongside therapy, not replace it. Whether you're learning Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for the first time or reinforcing what you're already working on, Tether makes it easier to actually use these skills when it matters. WHAT'S INSIDE Skill Library 18 real DBT skills across Mindfulness, Distress Tolerance, Emotion Regulation, and Interpersonal Effectiveness — each explained in plain language, with clear steps and realistic time estimates. In the Moment When things feel like too much, get straight to a skill that can actually help — no digging through menus. Diary Card Track your emotions, urges, and which skills you used each day. See real trends over time, not just how today felt. Cope Ahead Planning for something hard? Pick the skills you want ready, get a gentle reminder, and reflect on how it went afterward. Share With a Parent (Optional) If you want support at home, choose exactly which skills a parent can see — never your private notes or check-ins, unless you choose to share those too.

Crisis Resources Real, immediate access to 988, Crisis Text Line, and more — always available, no login required.
