This workshop will focus on how to use the developmental
model of ACT called DNA-V to help adolescents practice
building a flexible, open and engaged life. DNA-v is the
distillation of cutting edge science and theory into simple
processes that can help young people live well, but it isn’t
just for young people, it is also for parents, teachers,
mentors etc. This model uses research from evolutionary
science, behavioural science, ACT, compassion research,
and positive psychology to create a new paradigm for
promoting vital living. This makes DNA-v a wholly
Contextual Behavioral Science model based on growth and
development. It can be used in both educational and
clinical settings.
