ACT Groups for Partial Hospitalization/Intensive Outpatient Programs (PHP/IOP)
I work in the Birches Program at the Brattleboro Retreat in Southern Vermont, a Partial Hospitalization/Intensive Outpatient Program (PHP/IOP). Participants usually stay in our program four to six weeks. I have developed a set of a dozen ACT-based groups that are inter-related and mutally supportive. Themes of: mindfulness; compassion; matrix; defusion; acceptance; anger; assertiveness; self-care; healthy relationships; finding motivation; values and action. Partcipants also have daily check-in groups that are more freely structured. I facilitate these themes on a rotating basis.
Running acceptance and commitment therapy groups for psychosis in community settings

ACTp shows promise as a brief individual intervention for people with psychosis to improve recovery, reduce future relapse, and reduce healthcare costs.
