Mindfulness and Acceptance Based Therapy for Adolescents Living With HIV

This is a behavioral intervention that is aimed at building psychological flexibility among adolescents. It involves careful use of language, metaphors, experiential learning and mindfulness to develop skills that support values guided living. Participants learn to relate with their inner thoughts, feelings and urges in an open and elaborative way as conscious human beings and make choices that improve their lives even in the presence of such difficult experiences.
