Provider Wellbeing and Self-Care: Radical Acceptance

DMH UCLA Public Mental Health Partnership

This training discusses the practice of radical acceptance, a distress tolerance and emotional regulation skill, and component of reality acceptance from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (Linehan, 2005). In particular, this training will focus around the application of radical acceptance in coping with uncertainty, especially as it relates to experiences that many are faced with during the COVID-19 pandemic on professional and personal levels. The overall aim of the training is to provide attendees with a perspective and coping strategy to support their own wellbeing as providers, as well as a skill that can be used and taught to clients.
