Programs such as Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) and Mindfulness-Based Relapse Prevention (MBRP) provide practical way to introduce clients to mindfulness as a means to treat stress, depression, and addiction. This seminar will help you understand what mindfulness is, the science behind it, and practical applications in clinical practice for stress, anxiety, depression and addiction.
