Objectives
Narrative objectives1
Self-stigma in help-seeking has been identified as a primary inhibitor of help-seeking. Furthermore, it has been established that self-stigma in help-seeking negatively correlates with help-seeking orientation, and that experiential avoidance and value influence help-seeking orientation. Therefore, this study aims to examine the effectiveness of an Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) intervention targeting self-stigma in requesting help from close others.
