LI-ACBS is a newly formed (6/2015) Long Island based community, for those interested in learning more about ACT, third generation CBT, contextual behavioral science (CBS), and other acceptance/mindfulness informed psychotherapies (ACT, DBT, MBSR, FAP, CFT, MBCT, etc). LI-ACBS will provide an excellent way for its Long Island members to stay informed about local events and/or if you so choose, to become even more personally involved in the ACT & CBS community. Mutual peer ACT supervision groups, local ACT & related workshops, discounts to registering for such workshops, study groups, training, as well as networking opportunities within the third generation CBT and more generally the contextually based psychotherapy community.
