Life can be stressful and challenging for our rangatahi within a modern, media-driven world that promotes materialism, escapism, feel goodism whilst judging difference and weakness. Young people are particularly prone to feeling emotionally overwhelmed due to academic stress, body image, peer relationships and family conflict. This can quickly spiral into painful thoughts and feelings, and avoidance and can present as Depression, Anxiety, and a number of other mental health diagnoses, along with tension in social groups and families. In this workshop, Ben will introduce the principles of ACT and demonstrate some metaphor and exercises that can be used with teenagers. The workshop will be experiential so that you can draw on your own experiences when applying ACT with young people.
