Brief Behavioral Activation for Improving Social Connectedness

Brief Behavioral Activation for Improving Social Connectedness (BBAISC): BBAISC was developed to address social connectedness. Grounded in Behavioral Activation (Lejuez et al., 2011), BBAISC is a structured, 6-session skill-building intervention that has 4 key elements (Pepin et al., 2020): 1. Psychoeducation: Psychoeducation focused on homebound status, social connectedness, and associated changes in behavior. 2. Behavioral Activation intervention rationale: Framing how changing behavior can positively impact social connectedness (i.e., improve social connectedness and reduce loneliness). 3. Exploration of life areas, values, and activities: Focused on identifying life areas and values most relevant to the participant. Then, these values are used to generate activities that are aligned with those values. 4. Activity monitoring and planning: Participants are encouraged to schedule and organize their day based on what is important rather than their current mood or feeling state.
