This session focuses on the application of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to depression, anxiety, trauma, and suicide prevention. Participants will examine how experiential avoidance, cognitive fusion, and behavioral withdrawal contribute to psychological distress, and will learn targeted ACT interventions including values-based behavioral activation, cognitive defusion, willingness, and present-moment awareness.
