Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (or ACT) offers a radical new understanding of human well-being, and has become one of the best studied intervention approaches in all of psychology – based on more than four decades of research, with over 1,400 randomized controlled trials and thousands of studies of other kinds.
By targeting psychological flexibility and its social and bodily extensions – the core processes known to underlie meaningful change – ACT empowers you to help your clients across a wide range of problem areas and aspirational goals in mental and behavioral health and social wellness areas.
Whether they are struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, or addiction; or are dealing with the challenges of physical disease, or want to be a better parent or partner, ACT can help your clients.
Because of its high effectiveness and broad applicability, ACT has found wide-spread appeal among practitioners around the world, and has been endorsed as evidence-based by such agencies as the American Psychological Association and the World Health Organization. Regardless of whether you consider yourself a complete beginner or experienced in other approaches, ACT BootCamp® will help you acquire a proven skill-set that will help your clients make effective, long-lasting changes.
Do not delay though. Seating is limited and the last ACT Bootcamp completely sold out.
Volunteer positions are available. If interested, reach out to us at staff@ibh.com.
