Summary

This study tests a program called ACT Together for parents of children with disabilities. The program includes six online lessons and weekly phone coaching sessions with a trained therapist. It teaches skills to handle stress and difficult emotions. Researchers want to see if the program is easy to use and if it helps improve parents' mental health.
