Cultivating Vitality through Acceptance and Commitment: Part 1

Using empirically supported strategies, Dr. Thomas will make relevant skills from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to Iowa educators.

The three trainings will focus on three core skills:

1) Acting on one’s personally chosen values – identifying what matters and pursuing these values via consistent action

2) Developing awareness of one’s internal and external world – noticing one’s thoughts and emotions, as well as the consequences of one’s behavioral choices

3) Accepting one’s thoughts, emotions, and circumstances – embracing the difficult experiences that make us uniquely human in service of being able to pursue what matters
