ACT-Chrono

First Acceptance and Commitment (ACT) training, followed by chronobiological training

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Acceptance and Commitment Training

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

During the ACT-based intervention, participants will get 4 training sessions in groups, once a week for an hour. Additionally, participants will be asked to implement behavioural exercises such as mindfulness and value-based exercises into their daily schedule.
