What this trial studies

This pilot develops and tests a brief prevention program based on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) aimed at improving well-being and value-guided living among students and young people. It enrolls Chinese-fluent participants aged 35 or younger and delivers ACT sessions focused on stress management, mindfulness, and values-based action. People with active psychosis, bipolar disorder, personality disorder, ongoing serious suicidal ideation or recent attempts, and intellectual disability are excluded for safety. Recruitment and delivery occur through the New Life Psychiatric Rehabilitation Association in Hong Kong as a small pilot to refine materials and procedures for larger prevention trials.
