During a global pandemic, it is critical to rapidly deploy a psychological intervention to support the mental health and resilience of highly affected individuals and communities.
This is the rationale behind the development and implementation of the Pandemic Acceptance and Commitment to Empowerment Response (PACER) Training, an online, blended, skills building intervention to increase the resilience and well-being of participants while promoting their individual and collective empowerment and capacity building.
Based on acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) and social justice-based group empowerment psychoeducation (GEP), we developed the Acceptance and Commitment to Empowerment (ACE) model to enhance psychological resilience and collective empowerment. The PACER program consists of 6 online, interactive, self-guided modules complemented by 6 weekly, 90-minute, videoconference, facilitator-led, group sessions.
As of August 2021, a total of 325 participants had enrolled in the PACER program. Participants include frontline health care providers and Chinese-Canadian community members.
The PACER program is an innovative intervention program with the potential for increasing resilience and empowerment while reducing mental distress during the pandemic.

在全球大流行期间，迅速部署心理干预措施以支持受影响严重的个人和社区的心理健康及恢复力至关重要。
这就是大流行接纳与赋权应对（PACER）培训得以开发和实施的基本原理，该培训是一种在线混合式技能培养干预措施，旨在提高参与者的恢复力和幸福感，同时促进他们的个人和集体赋权以及能力建设。
基于接纳与承诺疗法（ACT）和基于社会正义的团体赋权心理教育（GEP），我们开发了接纳与赋权（ACE）模型以增强心理恢复力和集体赋权。PACER项目包括6个在线互动式自主学习模块，并辅以6次每周90分钟的视频会议，由主持人引导的团体课程。
截至2021年8月，共有325名参与者报名参加了PACER项目。参与者包括一线医疗保健提供者和加拿大华裔社区成员。
PACER项目是一项创新的干预项目，有可能在大流行期间提高恢复力和赋权水平，同时减轻心理困扰。
