There are many resources online and there is also a lot of very good books that people can get through websites, such as Amazon. The ones that I would recommend would be Dialectical Behaviour Therapy skills that people can buy. And in dialectical behaviour treatment, there is four different modules that all focus on teaching plans, alternative ways of managing their distress, tolerating distress, regulating emotions, learning mindfulness skills, and also learning relational skills in order to be able to resolve their difficulties in alternative ways.
