Summary

This study tests whether a one-day Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) workshop can improve psychological flexibility and well-being in university students who have moderate to severe anxiety or depression. Participants are randomly assigned to either attend the workshop or join a waitlist. Researchers measure changes in anxiety, depression, and psychological capital (like hope and resilience) before, after, and one month later.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a brief, low-cost psychological intervention to help students manage anxiety and depression symptoms.
