BETTER ACT THAN REACT

The project is aimed at improving intervention practices with vulnerable groups of young people through the development of psychological flexibility, healthy ways of coping with stress and emotional regulation. Based on the principles of "ACT" (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) treatment, people working with vulnerable groups of young people have been able to develop psychological flexibility so that they can cope more successfully with stress and protect themselves from burn-out, and also transfer these skills to the young people they assist. An attempt was also made to awaken awareness of life values in people who work with groups of vulnerable young people in order to feel more fulfilled in the course of their work.

To this end, the project has carried out:

-        An innovative APP to improve psychological flexibility that can be used in 3 ways:

§  individual use for operators working with vulnerable young people

§  individual use for the young themselves

§  Shared use in group work

-        A MANUAL for workshops, with techniques and suggestions to increase psychological flexibility in young people, to be used in synergy with the APP, so that operators can systematically transfer the skills acquired to young people
