ACT is a value-driven therapy that involves facilitating transcendence of physical, mental, and emotional experience to alleviate human suffering; as such, ACT shares common ground with the domain of spirituality. Approached as a spiritually integrated therapy, ACT can help clients to access spiritual resources and create life meaning as well as aid in the resolution or transformation of spiritual struggles. Given that spiritual struggles, in particular, can have a significant impact on mental health and well-being, this article provides guidance in how ACT can address such struggles.</p>","PeriodicalId":56157,"journal":{"name":"Counseling and Values","volume":"61 2","pages":"239-254"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2016-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1002/cvj.12040","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"51324908","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

More important, my role as president has put me in touch with such great energy from students, counselors, counselor educators, and other helpers who are deeply committed to our organization and have dedicated some of their free time to help us improve our processes and bring new benefits to our members. Experiencing this new energy has offered me a renewal in my journey that has been unexpected and very welcome.</p><p>As you read this, many of us have recently traveled home from the 2016 American Counseling Association conference held in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. We made a concerted effort this year to hold ASERVIC-sponsored events that featured some of the presentations from our 2015 ASERVIC conference in New York last summer. We officially unveiled our new ASERVIC logo and celebrated all of the individuals who submitted entries for consideration. There were also changes in the content of ASERVIC meetings—such as offering an ASERVIC Emerging Leaders session and convening an ASERVIC Advisory Board. Perhaps the biggest highlight was the ASERVIC luncheon, at which we had the opportunity to join together with friends old and new to enjoy the community that we have created.</p><p>In closing, I want to say thank you to all of you who have shared your ideas and your time in contributing to the mission of ASERVIC. In the past few months, I believe that we have been mindful of traditions while reaching forward into the future.
