PSIP / Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction

$200.00

Mindfulness is a way of relating directly to whatever is happening in your life, meeting your experience skillfully and with an open heart. Mindfulness training is an antidote to the habitual response patterns that lock us into routines that undermine emotional and physical health. Jon Kabat-Zinn describes mindfulness as “…moment-to-moment awareness, the complete ‘owning of each moment’ of your experience, good, bad, or ugly” (Kabat-Zinn, 2005).

The Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction Curriculum was originally designed to be delivered in 6 weeks with 1-1.5 hour sessions each week. This curriculum also can be run back to back in a weekend retreat format if there are time constraints. The group is best facilitated by a group leader who has some training/daily practice in mindfulness-based techniques. It is also necessary to have proper educational training in group facilitation and mental health issues. The sessions include both discussion and practicing mindfulness-based techniques. The information, which includes a Mindfulness practice link, is included for download to help demonstrate the different techniques. The manual also includes weekly practice and assignments to help gain a better understanding of mindfulness practice in daily life.

User Qualifications

Individuals using the Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction curriculum with parents, children, and adults with disabilities in a variety of mental health and institutional settings are expected to have received formal educational training in the facilitation of groups, and ongoing supervision on relevant clinical issues such as confidentiality, group dynamics, and referral of individuals who may require additional intervention services. It is important to have some clinical skills in order to assess symptoms in a group setting and refer to the individual to appropriate mental health services within your organization. Most clinical and school psychologists, social workers, and counselors will have received adequate training to effectively carry out this curriculum.
