Supporting Values-Based Action

A guide for parents on supporting values-driven behaviour.

ACT helps young people connect with their values and take action based on what matters. Here's how you can support this.

Supporting values-based action

  • Ask about their values with curiosity, not judgement
  • Share your own values (without imposing them)
  • Notice when they act on their values and name it
  • Help them see that difficult feelings don't have to stop them

This resource is for parents of young people in ACT.
