Change, whether positive or negative, requires adjustment.  For many people this adjustment process can be overwhelming.  Using Acceptance and Commitment Theory (ACT), Adjusting to Change is targeted at assessing the impact of a situation on an individual's life, dealing with and accepting any feelings of grief or loss (such as loss of job or life roles) and the development of psychological resilience.
