DNA-V Training

Better conversations with DNA-V is a training program designed for support workers, key workers, social care workers, coaches, psychologists and therapists – anyone who wants to work more effectively with young people aged 16-25, in community settings, and guide them towards thriving and vitality in their life.

DNA-V (Discoverer, Noticer, Advisor & Values) is the youth model of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), a developmental model designed to increase psychological flexibility in young people.

The full training course provides you with an understanding of the DNA-V model, the different approaches within the model and how to use it in practice. The training is delivered experientially so you as a learner will be asked to engage with your own thoughts, feelings, behaviours and values as a way of fully understanding the benefits of the practice.
