In this episode, Dr. Jonathan Tarbox discusses an approach for addressing mental health issues in education called Acceptance Commitment Training, or ACT.  ACT is a very practical but well-researched behavioral approach that can help students and educators  better recognize and overcome internal and external challenges and move them towards their values.
