Channel: TBD Solutions Inc
Date: 2022-07-28

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is a behavior therapy modality centered in principles of mindfulness, pursuit of a meaningful life, and living according to one's values. Hailed as one of the "Third Wave" behavior therapies, ACT recognizes the origins of thoughts and behavior in survival and seeks to move people away from a focus on happiness and towards a focus on remaining present through all types of emotions.

Evidence-based practices like ACT often find their efficacy through replicable controlled trials, but these studies are difficult to replicate inside of crisis settings like call centers, mobile crisis teams, crisis residential programs, and psychiatric hospitals. In this webinar, learn the key components of ACT while learning helpful adaptations to infuse these strategies in crisis response work.
