The CBS Superlab
The CBS Superlab
What is the CBS Superlab?
With the release of the ACBS Task Force Report on the Strategies and Tactics of Contextual Behavioral Science Research, high-level discussion around how to roll out the proposed recommendations is necessary. The CBS Superlab is an international research lab meeting held once a quarter via Zoom. CBS SuperLab Meetings are typically held at 3pm EST. These hour-long quarterly meetings will involve:
- A research presentation delivered by a CBS lab that showcases ongoing advances, developments, and innovations in the field of CBS. Each presenter will be invited to share resources relating to their presentation (e.g., PowerPoint slides, handouts, software packages) that will be made available to all attendees.
- A group discussion among all attendees that focuses on both the presentation and means of addressing the Task Force’s recommendations.
- All CBS research labs are invited to participate. To be considered a CBS lab, your lab details must be included on the ACBS website. Research labs may submit to present here.
All ACBS members are invited to attend. To attend a Superlab, please register here. After registering, we encourage you to join the Superlab listserv to continue the conversation.
The next Superlab will be held in April of 2025. Information regarding the topic and speaker will be shared soon.
Superlab with David Gillanders & Anne Finucane, University of Edinburgh - was held October 22, 2024 and you will find the recording here.
Title: “My Grief, My Way – An intervention development study”
Abstract: In this CBS Superlab seminar, David Gillanders of the University of Edinburgh will outline the process and outcomes of an intervention development study that was designed to increase access to bereavement support, and to adapt psychological flexibility principles to working with stuck grief. The talk will describe stake holder engagement including people with lived experience of grief, organisations that provide bereavement support, clinicians who provide bereavement support, an interdisciplinary group of experts in the study of grief, experts in psychological flexibility as applied to end of life, and multi-media production creatives. The talk will also outline and show the logic model and the intervention that was created from the synthesis of these perspectives, bereavement support volunteer training, and the mixed method evaluation of My Grief My Way using qualitative and quantitative analyses.
