Effectiveness of a web-based acceptance and commitment therapy program for adolescent career preparation : A randomized controlled trial
2021
Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) programs have rarely been used as tools for promoting adolescents' career preparation. This randomized controlled trial examined the possibility to promote the career preparation of Finnish ninth-grade adolescents (n = 249, 49% females) with a web-based five-week ACT-based online intervention program.

The results showed that career-related insecurity decreased as a result of the intervention i…

On the trail of local welfare innovations in rural Finland
2019

The authors argue that in the context of welfare policy, the promotion of local we…
