Learning DNA-V: The Acceptance & Commitment Therapy for youth model
- This event has passed.
Join us for this creative and interactive workshop, delivered by world renowned psychologist and trainer, Dr Louise Hayes.
The workshop focuses on supporting young people aged 11 to 18 to grow and thrive, through the popular and evidence-based DNA-V model (Hayes & Ciarrochi, 2015, 2021).
DNA-V is a developmentally informed version of the Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) model. The model offers a whole person-in-context, scientifically grounded approach that allows you to confidently use evidence-based processes to help young people face struggles and develop to their full potential. DNA-V is a robust human change model that combines biological theories of adaptation, acceptance and commitment practices and positive psychology into an easily understood and applied model. It is the culmination of 20 years of work by experts in the field of youth development.
