BEHAVIORAL

Online Acceptance and Commitment Therapy-Based Parent Support Program

The sessions are structured around the core ACT skills (contact with the present moment, acceptance, defusion, values, commitment, and contextual self). Each session includes stages of information sharing, exemplification, meditation practice, feedback, and group discussion. The topics and practices are derived from standardized content commonly used in ACT groups. After each session, home exercises related to the weekly topic are provided, and feedback on these exercises is gathered from participants at the beginning of the next session. Audio recordings for the meditation practices are created and sent to participants via email.
