This article provides protocols of a mindfulness and acceptance-based intervention and a psychological skills training intervention. Both consist of four 90-minute group workshops in a time period of one month. All workshops were accompanied with methods that support behavioral change. We considered four principles in the program development to support behavioral change (i.e., supporting processing and learning of the workshop content, strengthening motivation to get involved with the program, promoting regular practice of formal exercises, reactivation of content between workshops). We conclude with evaluating the participants’ feedback on the workshops and by giving advice how practitioners could use these programs.
