Focus Acceptance and Commitment Therapy

This is a 2 part training offering to upskill you in FACT, a Brief intervention model shown to be very effective in primary care settings.

FACT 1.
Focussed Acceptance and Commitment therapy (FACT).
FACT is the primary care version of ACT (acceptance and commitment therapy). The basis of ACT is accepting what you cannot change and committing to what you can change. FACT in primary care enables Kiamahi to get the patients social context very quickly using the work/love/play form.

The interventions arise from this and it is possible to get major changes in patients’. It can be used for mental health issues (we use the term distress rather than depression or anxiety).

It makes clinical work much more satisfying as it puts the focus on supporting young people to flourish


You can see what is involved on www.brucearroll.com where all material is free.
 
FACT 2.
FACT 2 is an extension of the Introduction to FACT 1 course and is intensely practical, with a strong emphasis on skills-development.
The goal is for you to leave the workshop being able to apply the techniques in a flexible and fluid manner ( Course offered 1 June 2022).

This event has taken place already.
