What's unique? This webinar presents ACT the Matrix as a powerful model for engaging people from "At Risk" for substance use disorder all the way to the severely addicted.

Steve Hayes, co-founder of ACT says, “The Matrix opens the door to ACT in a way that is direct, simple, and useful. Kevin is not just its developer: he a master in its use. He lays down a great foundation for a more psychologically flexible approach to life and work.”

Your Presenter: Kevin Polk long ago recognized that ACT was a learning model made cool and interesting. Then he got lucky and developed the Matrix diagram, making things a lot easier. He's a peer-reviewed ACT trainer who's first ACT presentation was called "ACT Gone Wild." His webinars can be pretty wild, but you will learn a bunch, including how to learn valued living.
