After an acquired brain injury, many people experience anxiety and depressive symptoms. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) can be used to help people to lead a meaningful life despite the consequences of their brain injury. We have adapted an existing ACT protocol for use in people with brain injury who may face challenges with cognition, communication, and/or fatigue. In a large scale RCT we showed its clinical and cost effectiveness. The official English translation of our BrainACT treatment is now available: a manual for therapists and a workbook for patients. You can find these materials at below, as well as the underlying evidence.
