SUPERVISION & PRACTICE GROUPS:

They usually require a willingness to commit to attending monthly meetings for a least a period of several months to a year. These groups are primarially focused on peer case presentation & ACT case conceptualization. They sometimes assign books and/or chapters for dicussion. Other activites may include role-playing, ACT experientials, & rehearsing specific ACT interventions. They are usually hosted by at least one ACT experienced professional.
