ACT with family and parents, with Koa Wittingham

In this session, Dr Koa Whittingham, will introduce an evolutionary, developmental and contextual behavioural approach to supporting parents and parenting and argue that within such a framework the relational-emotional and the behavioural literature can be drawn upon without contradiction. Evidence on the use of ACT to support parents and parenting to date will be discussed and the parent-child hexaflex introduced and explored as a way to conceptualise ACT with families. Finally, this workshop will explore practical techniques and discuss use with different parent-child populations.
