ACT for Children

Working with children and adolescents can be deeply rewarding—but also challenging, especially when big emotions, avoidance, and developmental factors come into play. This 6-hour workshop offers a practical, grounded introduction to Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) for young people, with a strong emphasis on real-life clinical application.

Through discussions, case examples, experiential exercises, and role plays, you’ll learn how to support young clients in moving toward meaningful life tasks—even in the presence of difficult thoughts and feelings. We’ll also explore ways to involve parents and caregivers to strengthen therapeutic progress and create teachable moments at home.

• Core ACT theory, processes, and guiding principles
• ACT-consistent case formulation and conceptualization with child + adolescent examples
• How developmental and interpersonal factors shape ACT interventions
• Strategies to help young people engage with values-based actions
• Practical tools for working with distressing thoughts and emotions in youth
• Ways to coach parents/caregivers to reinforce ACT skills at home
