About this Program:

This program is designed for Mental Health and Allied Professionals who wish to share the practice of mindfulness with their clients. This full day of mindfulness practice will provide the conceptual and experiential underpinnings for instructing clients in the basics of mindfulness and offer an opportunity to deepen one’s personal meditation practice, which is  the foundation for effectively sharing this practice with others.

Through a combination of seven hours of in-class interactive and experiential activities and four hours of Home Study test-validated reading assignments, this program will provide an overview of effective methods for teaching this practice to a host of clinical populations.

Participants will gain a basic understanding of:

• the key concepts and related skills of mindfulness and how they can be effectively shared with clients/patients in a variety of clinical settings

• a variety of meditation practices (e.g. sitting, walking and eating meditation as well as very basic Mindful Hatha Yoga) and specific techniques for teaching them

• resources for deepening mindfulness and integrating it more fully into one’s professional practice. 

This program can provide 11 Continuing Educational Credits if you are a: Licensed Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Licensed School Psychologist, Dietitian/Nutritionist or Nutrition Counselor or Licensed Nurse Midwife. Seven of these credits are for in class participation, four are for Home Study materials (i.e. a journal articles related to the application of mindfulness and training others in this practice). You will have 2 weeks following the program to complete the Home Study portion of the program and mail the answer sheet to me). Learn more about CEUs.

Other licensures allowing the practice of psychotherapy such as M.D, are also welcome to attend but no CEU/CME can be awarded. Graduate students in one of these fields are welcome to participate as well.

The Cost of the Program

The fee for this one-day program is on a sliding scale based upon ability to pay and ranges from $250 to $100 (Visa/MC accepted). You set your own fee, no questions asked. Costs include two 45-minute training CDs (i.e. Body Scan and Guided Sitting Meditation) as well as Home Study reading materials, associated tests and posting of the 11 CEUs with CEBroker.

It is my sincere hope that any healing professional interested in participating in this program can do so regardless of their ability to pay. Therefore, I have established a fund for a limited number of partial scholarships. If you would like to be considered for a partial scholarship or if feel moved to contribute to this fund, please let me know.
