Overview
As a clinician it is important to have knowledge of various therapeutic models and useful interventions to help clients. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, is emerging as a very promising and evidenced-based therapeutic modality to treat a host of mental health conditions. ACT incorporates elements of CBT and DBT into its framework, while also including some unique tenets and approaches. Join this full day workshop to learn about the fundamental philosophies of ACT, including the six core processes. Discover how ACT approaches unhelpful thinking, difficult emotions, and problematic behaviors. ACT is evidenced based for depression, anxiety, suicide, trauma, and many more mental health conditions. Learners will find ACT approaches and interventions relevant to a variety of clients in diverse settings through examining case studies, video clips, and worksheets.
