This 4-part series introduces participants to the tenets of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and guides them from the introductory stage to applied practice with different mental health conditions and scenarios. Participants learn and practice strategies from each tenet of ACT ranging from brief interventions to more in-depth processes. Case examples are used throughout, and participants have the opportunity to practice different strategies and processes with guided prompts.
By the end of this series participants will be able to:
1. Describe ACT and its core processes.
2. Identify a strategy/intervention for each process.
3. Identify an opportunity for future learning
