Training programme in adapted mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs)
2021 Training
An ever growing number of people are drawing on mindfulness in their work and using adapted mindfulness based approaches. This training course is for people who wish to train to deliver mindfulness based interventions that are not eight-week programmes such as MBCT or MBSR. It is intended for those who don't need to complete the extensive training required to deliver MBCT/MBSR but who wish to be equipped to use adapted mindfulness based approaches safely and effectively.
The training will start online and then transition to in person delivery as and when it is safe to do so. If/when this happens, participants will retain the option of continuing to join remotely, rather than in person. In 2020, we’ve found that the delivery of the training largely online (via Zoom) has worked well. Fees are £1,900, with an additional cost of a weekend retreat.
Applications for the 2021 intake, starting in February 2021, are now open. Applications should be submitted before 9th November 2020. Applicants who are external to Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust (SPFT) are welcome to submit their application forms early, for an early selection decision.
