WHAT IS ACT & ADAPT?

Act & Adapt is a group-based, video-guided program that teaches youth how to cope with feelings of stress. Students will learn strategies to improve their mood and gain control by:

 

  • Solving problems that they have control over. 

  • Adapting to problems they do not have control over. 

 

Students meet for about an hour, once a week for about 10 weeks at their school.
