Assuming basic knowledge of ACT, this course will take a hands-on approach and we will learn to work with and within the Hexaflex ACT Model.
With the help of case scenarios, self reflection and small group work we will explore how to apply ACT core skills, thus increasing our understanding of the model and move from one core process to another, having developed a greater insight into the interdependence of the core processes of the ACT model.
