DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Rheanne Jimeno (Space Generation Advisory Council)\n
 Looking up at the night sky can shift how people feel about their own worr
 ies. The sense of awe and vastness that astronomy brings pull attention in
 to the present moment and helps us change what feels important. These same
  shifts sit at the heart of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) which 
 is a practice built around accepting difficult feelings\, stepping back fr
 om unhelpful thoughts\, and reconnecting with what matters.\nThis talk loo
 ks at how the perspective astronomy offers\, and the simple act of being u
 nder the stars\, can be used to support mental health and wellbeing. Build
 ing on the IAU Astro for Mental Health initiative\, it connects stargazing
  to the language of ACT and to the wellbeing that comes from being in natu
 re\, showing why astronomy outreach is well suited to encouraging acceptan
 ce\, perspective\, and connection.\n\nhttps://indico.narit.or.th/event/238
