In this introductory session we will discuss acceptance and commitment therapy as it can be applied to work with parents and other caregivers of children and adolescents. We will go over some ACT basics such as psychological flexibility and the processes described in the Hexaflex and Russ Harris’ Triflex; Be Present, “Open Up”, “Do What Matters”.

We will look at how ACT can be modified in working with children and parents as well as how we might engage caregivers in the work of helping young people. This will be the most didactic of our six sessions.With all of these sessions, questions and comments will be invited at the end.
