Scenario 2:
Acceptance and Commitment In the college setting, an increasing number of students are experiencing the impact of mental health issues in relation to their academic obligations and achievement, including increased stress levels, depression, and anxiety. As a means to reduce the impact of such mental health factors, the university has implemented a web-based counseling program that is designed to help students to learn strategies for coping with stress and anxiety as a means to increase levels of academic achievement. This program is a self-paced set of modules that guides students through a variety of activities and exercises based on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.
