Helping adolescents who are stuck involves supporting them to develop psychological flexibility. ACT can help them notice and defuse from unhelpful thoughts, open up to difficult emotions, and reconnect with their values so they can take meaningful action despite the challenges they face.

Our "ACT for adolescents: beginners training", with clinical psychologist and international expert, Dr Louise Hayes, will take you through an engaging and practical introduction to DNA-V and ACT. DNA-V (discoverer, noticer, advisor and values) is a psychological framework created by Louise for young people that makes ACT developmental, neuroaffirming, and links to growth. https://buff.ly/v8L8UNJ

DNA-V has initiated research trials and school curricula , becoming a leading treatment paradigm in many settings worldwide, such as CAMHS and school counselling services. Louise cannot wait to share it with you.

This paper examines the current status, challenges, and future directions for acceptance and commitment therapy for psychosis (ACTp). ACTp has demonstrated significant benefits, including reductions in depression, distress, and rehospitalisation rates, as well as improvements in psychological flexibility, mindfulness, and quality of life.

It differs from CBT for psychosis (CBTp) by focusing on how individuals relate to symptoms rather than altering their content, making it a complementary approach to psychosis treatment. Adjustments such as simplified metaphors, briefer mindfulness exercises, and structured sessions have enhanced its suitability for individuals with psychosis.

You can also join us this November to hear from expert Eric Morris with his ACT for psychosis foundations and masterclass workshops.

While ACT was initially developed for adults, its principles and techniques have been adapted and found to be particularly suitable for young people as well. ACT helps children and adolescents to develop cognitive flexibility, which is the ability to adapt their thoughts and behaviours in response to different situations. This skill is essential for coping with stress, managing emotions, and solving problems effectively.

Our upcoming courses will help you to apply ACT principles and techniques when working with young people - explore our website to find the best match for your needs! https://buff.ly/bjXcSj4
