ACT-Adjust for Individuals with an ABI - an online workshop

Do you want to build your skills and confidence in working with clients with acquired brain injury such as stroke or traumatic brain injury? This workshop will present strategies for working with individuals who present with cognitive impairment. You will also develop expertise in delivering ACT-Adjust, an evidence-based treatment protocol based on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy which addresses psychological distress and adjustment after brain injury. This workshop will assist you in moving towards your clinical values by providing opportunities to develop your skills through experiential exercises with fellow practitioners. You will be provided with a Therapist Manual, Client Workbook and treatment resources to implement the treatment immediately in your clinical practice.

$350 AUD

All participants will receive a Therapy Pack which includes a Therapist Manual, Client Workbook and materials required to practise the experiential exercises and role plays with other clinicians. Attendees will also be able to download an electronic version of the Client Workbook to be used with clients as needed.

Therapy Packs will be posted to attendees following registration.

Note: As workshop materials are posted to registrants, only partial refunds will be provided for cancellations after booking.
