<p>Individuals with mild learning disabilities who have emotional problems or impulsive behaviours can be supported to manage their emotions and distress through skills training. Based on dialectical behavioural therapy (DBT), this manual will help individuals to recognise their emotions, increase their self-awareness, self-soothe, and reduce unwanted, impulsive behaviours. As the training is based on DBT, it can be particularly helpful for those with personality disorders. The four modules, which are broadly based on Marsha Linehan's DBT group skills, cover mindfulness skills, managing feelings, coping in crisis and people skills. Mindfulness techniques are a core component in the programme and are drawn on throughout the course. Each session includes an activity and task so individuals can put their new skills into practice. The accompanying CD-rom includes the learner handouts and facilitator resources for the mindfulness activities, games and ice breakers. I Can Feel Good! is suitable for use with groups or individuals who have borderline or mild intellectual disabilities (IQ 60-80).</p>
