In a nutshell, ACT consists of three steps (Eifert &amp; Forsyth, 2005):\r\n<ol>\r\n \t<li><strong>Accept <\/strong>our thoughts and feelings, including the unwanted ones (anxiety, guilt, pain, sense of inadequacy), by letting go of our struggle with them and recognizing them for what they are \u2013 our thoughts and feelings.<\/li>\r\n \t<li><strong>Choose<\/strong> our directions in life by identifying and focusing on what really matters to us and what we truly value in life.<\/li>\r\n \t<li><strong>Take<\/strong> <strong>action<\/strong> to realize our valued life goal, or what matters to us based on our personal and collective values, and how to live a meaningful and engaging life.<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n<h5><strong>Our ability to make arbitrary connections: A blessing and a curse?<\/strong><\/h5>\r\nHuman beings have the ability to make complex and arbitrary connections between \u201cthings\u201d - objects, symbols, representations, aspects of the world - regardless of whether the things are in front of us or not. For instance, most English-speaking people in Canada are able to associate the word \u2018meow\u2019 with the word \u2018cat\u2019 and an image of a cat in their mind without the actual presence of a cat in their immediate environment.<img src=\"https:\/\/pressbooks.library.torontomu.ca\/champsinaction\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/377\/2023\/04\/RFT-300x225.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-450 alignright\" \/>\r\n\r\nThis ability of applying a relational frame to everything we experience has enabled humans to innovate. At the same time, it has also led to psychological struggles when we are not able to recognize our thoughts as thoughts, or feelings as feelings. We suffer psychologically when we are fused with ideas, thoughts, or unworkable rules and treat them as the absolute truth or reality. For example, we suffer when we are not able to differentiate between \u2018I am too skinny\u2019 as a thought and \u2018I am too skinny\u2019 as a fused self-concept.\r\n\r\nACT promotes our awareness that:\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>we have non-stop judgmental thoughts based on norms and social rules that we have internalized;<\/li>\r\n \t<li>we spend a lot of time thinking about and trying to avoid uncomfortable feelings and unwanted thoughts;<\/li>\r\n \t<li>our avoidance tends to worsen our psychological struggles, e.g., when people keep telling themselves not to be anxious, they tend to become more anxious;<\/li>\r\n \t<li>accepting thoughts and feelings that emerge beyond our control helps to reduce our suffering;<\/li>\r\n \t<li>learning new ways to relate to these thoughts and feelings may free us from being stuck; and<\/li>\r\n \t<li>developing compassion towards ourselves and others often leads us to living fully;<\/li>\r\n \t<li>no thoughts are inherently problematic; it all depends on the context and function of these thoughts; for example, when we are fused with the thought or idea that \u201clife is harsh,\u201d we may retreat and live in isolation. When we are defused from the thought or idea that harsh life is the only reality, we are able to recognize other possibilities in life, e.g., life is creative; life is filled with caring people; experiencing joy is possible even when life seems harsh, etc. and engage in value-guided and fulfilling living.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<strong style=\"text-align: initial;font-size: 1em\">Source:<\/strong>\r\n\r\nForsyth, J.

SJCB are underpinned by four interrelated core principles and values: social justice and equity; empathy and compassion; interdependence or interconnectedness, and collective empowerment. The goals of SJCB are to support participants to recognize human interdependence, individual and collective resilience, and the possibilities for human flourishing when we work together to advocate for social justice and equity.<\/p>\n<p>SJCB engages participants in four processes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>experiential learning that engages participants as holistic beings and honor their embodied knowledge and lived experiences<\/li>\n<li>critical reflection that enables participants to recognize the impact of how stigma creates fear, self-blame and shame that in turn reinforce structural oppression and domination<\/li>\n<li>critical dialogue that supports participants to develop empathy and compassion for themselves and others, and through the process become empowered and motivated to take committed action for social justice<\/li>\n<li>collaborative learning that promote shared creativity, innovations, and commitment to address social exclusion and health disparities<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"text-align: initial;font-size: 1em\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pressbooks.library.torontomu.ca\/champsinaction\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/377\/2023\/04\/ACE-Model-300x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" class=\"alignright wp-image-452\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pressbooks.library.torontomu.ca\/champsinaction\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/377\/2023\/04\/ACE-Model-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/pressbooks.library.torontomu.ca\/champsinaction\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/377\/2023\/04\/ACE-Model-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/pressbooks.library.torontomu.ca\/champsinaction\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/377\/2023\/04\/ACE-Model-65x65.png 65w, https:\/\/pressbooks.library.torontomu.ca\/champsinaction\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/377\/2023\/04\/ACE-Model-225x225.png 225w, https:\/\/pressbooks.library.torontomu.ca\/champsinaction\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/377\/2023\/04\/ACE-Model-350x350.png 350w, https:\/\/pressbooks.library.torontomu.ca\/champsinaction\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/377\/2023\/04\/ACE-Model.png 720w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/>In CHAMPs-In-Action, ACT and SJCB are integrated into the <\/span><strong style=\"text-align: initial;font-size: 1em\">Acceptance<\/strong><span style=\"text-align: initial;font-size: 1em\"> <\/span><strong style=\"text-align: initial;font-size: 1em\">and<\/strong><span style=\"text-align: initial;font-size: 1em\"> <\/span><strong style=\"text-align: initial;font-size: 1em\">Commitment to<\/strong><span style=\"text-align: initial;font-size: 1em\"> <\/span><strong style=\"text-align: initial;font-size: 1em\">Empowerment<\/strong><span style=\"text-align: initial;font-size: 1em\"> <\/span><strong style=\"text-align: initial;font-size: 1em\">(ACE)<\/strong><span style=\"text-align: initial;font-size: 1em\"> <\/span><strong style=\"text-align: initial;font-size: 1em\">model <\/strong><span style=\"text-align: initial;font-size: 1em\">to promote psychological flexibility and collective empowerment<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p>ACE learning strategies include: experiential activities that enable participants to let go of rules and stories that perpetuate stigma and get them stuck, interactive activities that facilitate critical understanding of structure violence, and collaborative learning that enable them to develop collective goals and support each other to become HIV and social justice champions.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Source:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Li, A., &amp; Wong, J.
