This workshop teaches ACT in plain, easy to understand language. You will learn how to use ACT with children and adolescents, develop an ACT case conceptualization, work with parents, and provide recommendations to parents/caregivers and schools.
A variety of engaging, creative and easy to use exercises will be taught.
