In this session, attendees will learn several evidence-based tools and practical strategies to disarm forms of psychological and emotional suffering from an acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) point of view. The session will include a mix of didactic and experiential activities to help participants learn the basics of ACT as a model and as a set of intervention strategies that can be applied broadly to a range of problems commonly seen in mental health settings.

Upon completion of this session, attendees will be able to:
1) Describe at least one intervention strategy that can be used to address each of the six ACT intervention processes.
2) Apply ACT intervention strategies to promote greater psychological flexibility.
3) Discuss the flexible use of ACT as a transdiagnostic approach when applied to a range of mental health concerns.
