• Emotion regulation: Helps people manage their feelings and reduce emotional intensity, which can help avoid harmful behaviors and emotions

• Interpersonal effectiveness: Helps people communicate in healthy ways and develop more stable relationships by teaching them how to assert themselves and set boundaries

• Mindfulness: Helps people focus on the present moment and observe their thoughts and emotions without judgment ​​​​​​​
