  • Part I introduces the therapeutic model that ACTV is based on - Acceptance and Commitment Training (ACT). Participants will learn how to apply ACT skills with their clients.

    Part II offers training on how to implement the ACTV curriculum.

  • Trainees will earn professional training hours for completing Part I. Completing Part I of the ACTV training does not obligate your agency to implement ACTV.

    Completing Parts I and II is required to become a certified ACTV facilitator. If you are interested in becoming a certified ACTV facilitator/implementing ACTV at your agency, please contact us directly.
