DNA-v: The developmental model of acceptance and commitment therapy for young people.
This workshop will focus on how to use the developmental model of ACT called DNA-V to help adolescents practice building a flexible, open and engaged life. DNA-v is the distillation of cutting edge science and theory into simple processes that can help young people live well, but it isn't just for young people, it is also for parents, teachers, mentors etc. This model uses research from evolutionary science, behavioural science, ACT, compassion research, and positive psychology to create a new paradigm for promoting vital living. This makes DNA-v a wholly Contextual Behavioral Science model based on growth and development. It can be used in both educational and clinical settings.
