You found this place for a reason.
Maybe you are new to Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and want to understand what it actually is before committing to anything.
Maybe you are already practicing ACT and want better tools, real practice, and a community that takes the science seriously.
Maybe you are a supervisor or experienced clinician looking for a professional home that matches where your thinking has taken you.
Whatever brought you here, RIACT was built for clinicians like you.
What RIACT Is
RIACT is a training and practice community for clinicians who want to do ACT well and build a sustainable professional life doing it.
Everything here is grounded in Functional Contextualism and Relational Frame Theory. Not as a brand identity, but as the actual operating logic of how this community is built and how it functions. The science that informs how we help clients change is also the science we use to think about how clinicians grow, how supervision works, and how professional development actually sticks.
Most of our work applies through ACT, and anyone who thinks contextually and functionally about behavior, language, and human change will find meaningful ground here.
We train together. We practice together. We share tools, frameworks, and infrastructure so that no one has to build everything from scratch alone.
Where Do You Start?
You are new to ACT and want to understand it from the ground up.
The Foundation membership is free — no credit card, no expiration.
It includes introductory articles, access to three live FlexLab sessions, foundational clinical worksheets, and the weekly community update. It is a genuine starting point, not a teaser.
The Deeply Functional podcast is a good companion if you learn well through conversation. Both are accessible without a paid membership.
You are building clinical fluency and want better tools and real practice.
FlexLab is where written knowledge becomes practiced behavior. It meets monthly in multiple formats — in-person and virtual — and is designed as a collaborative practice space, not a lecture. Bring a case, observe, or step in when ready. No previous ACT experience required.
The FPN Practice Tool is an AI tool trained on RIACT's clinical frameworks. It helps clinicians think functionally about documentation, case conceptualization, and clinical decision-making. It is not a general-purpose chatbot. It was built specifically for this work and is available at the Explorer tier.
Explorer membership starts at $12 per month or under $10 per month if purchased for the year ($116) — with a 7-day free trial.

Immersive membership at $112 per month adds the full community layer: Slack access across clinical and practice channels, group trainings, functional case discussions, and one full-hour consultation each month.
Intensive membership at $212 per month is for clinicians ready to move fast. Two 60-minute consultations per month, direct work with a peer-reviewed ACT trainer, and priority access across the ecosystem. Limited to 12 members — 5 spots currently remaining.

A Note on What This Place Is
RIACT is not a content library with a paywall in front of it. It is a relational and professional infrastructure built around a shared theoretical framework. The tools, the training, the supervision model, and the community all point in the same direction: clinicians who are grounded in real science, genuinely connected to their values, and supported by people who take both seriously — do better work, build more sustainable practices, and stay in this field with their integrity intact.
If that is what you are looking for, you are in the right place.
