November 28, 2022 Episode 208: Addressing Educators/Caregiver Burnout using ACT with Mallory Anderson-Macy, BCBA
Mallory Anderson-Macy, BCBA, is passionate about sharing the positive impacts of Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT). She currently works on helping parents and clients by focusing on Clinician Training around ACT and Life Balance. Mallory believes intervention starts with people who are at their best. When clinicians are supported they will better support parents and the staff they supervise- leading to better clinical outcomes.

In this episode, Mallory discusses caregiver burnout, the role that this plays on our interventions, and how addressing this will lead to better learner outcomes and a better quality of life.
