ACT on Health Toolkit: The purpose of the ACT on Health toolkit is to support Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Medical Center mental health leadership and clinicians in implementation of 1-Day ACT workshops in community-based settings. The toolkit is based on 3-years of pilot work, funded by VA’s Office of Rural Health. During that time, our team delivered ACT 1-day workshops to Veterans in the rural Beaumont, Texas area in collaboration with community partners including Vet Centers, Veteran-serving nonprofits, and faith-based organizations.
