Enhancing Behavioral Approaches to Mentorship and Supervision with Acceptance and Commitment Training

Event Description

This conversational webinar will discuss strategies from the Acceptance and Commitment Training (ACT) literature that can be adapted to mentorship and supervision within applied behavior analytic settings. ACT approaches strive to empower staff to spend less time and energy grappling with their distress and more time and energy contacting their own chosen values and engaging in overt behavior that fills their jobs with meaning and purpose. The discussion will highlight several practical procedures that are easy to learn and that BCBAs can start implementing in their practice tomorrow. Dr. Tarbox will make the case that adding ACT to ABA supervision and mentorship has the potential to inject our practices with greater compassion and to empower us to embrace our mentees as whole human beings, not only as the sum of their overt organizational performance.
