Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) has gained recognition as an evidence-based practice by SAMHSA, the Veterans' Health Administration, and the American Psychological Association. In this workshop, participants will learn about the theory, technique, and orienting philosophy of ACT. The practice of ACT will be framed as a stand-alone intervention, and also a philosophical approach or clinical stance that can augment treatment as usual. Instead of a lecture format, the workshop encourages peer discussion and experiential learning, including firsthand exposure to ACT-informed mindfulness exercises and values-clarification techniques.
