| Description |
This is an "in house" training for all CFC #15 staff focusing on Acceptance and Commitment Training in the workplace.
Acceptance and Commitment Training (ACTraining) aims to improve performance and reduce stress for workers by
supporting the development of psychological flexibility at their job. Psychological flexibility is the ability to be in the current moment, mindfully aware of thoughts and emotions, and committed to valued goals. Individuals with greater psychological flexibility are focused on the ‘here-and-now,’ are agile when dealing with emotions, and are personally motivated to achieve significant objectives.
The essential ingredient to maintaining motivation is value-directed behavior. When people can articulate WHY they care about doing something, they are better at figuring out HOW to do it, and to commit to doing it. The ACT Training model helps people find motivation, vitality and direction in their occupation.
ACTraining is based on the six interactive processes highlighted in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy — contacting the present moment, acceptance, defusion, perspective taking, values clarification, and committed action — and has been efficacious in many occupational environments.
