Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) training a huge success

Nearly 100 clinicians from Greater Manchester stroke and neurorehabiliation teams benefited from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) delivered by local Clinical Neuropsychologists and our Clinical Lead for Inpatient Rehabilitation Rachael Collins.

ACT is a mindfulness-based behavioural therapy that can be provided by non psychology staff to help people take active steps towards building a rich, meaningful life.

The morning session was aimed at inpatient services, with community staff attending after lunch. The training covered a range of topics, with delegates also reviewing previous ACT training delivered last year. We will be evaluating attendees before and after understanding of ACT, as well as following up on how they put the training into practice when supporting patients and their carers.
