Mindfulness in Mind – Practitioner Training Programme (PTP)

Mindfulness is recommended by the National Institute for Clinical Excellence (NICE) as an effective treatment for depression and has been clinically evidenced to significantly reduce symptoms of anxiety and stress. Mindfulness is a treatment option that we at Mindfulness in Mind believe should be made available to anyone who experiences mental health issues.

–

Mindfulness in Mind, supported by national charity Mind, is the banner under which Mind in Salford and Mind in Hackney have delivered evidence-based 8 week mindfulness courses (MBSR – mindfulness based stress reduction, MBCT – mindfulness based cognitive therapy, MSC – mindful self-compassion) to the public since 2010.

–

Mindfulness in Mind run the Practitioner Training Programme (PTP), a recognised 12 month pathway for mindfulness teachers, which provides the foundation for seeking registration with the British Association of Mindfulness Based Approaches (BAMBA). We train fellow Mind colleagues, counsellors, CBT therapists, mental health practitioners and educators from all over the UK to deliver 8 week mindfulness courses. During the programme participants will be given guidance on submitting their application for registration with the UK Network and supported to attain the levels of competency outlined in the Good Practice Guidelines (GPGs).

We are happy to announce that we can award ONE bursary placement for the 2020/21 programme which will cover the full cost of the training and would be awarded based on how an applicant meets the criteria as set out in the application form PLUS the following :

Financial considerations- the cost of paying for the training would prohibit you from applying or would leave you in financial hardship

A commitment to, and a clear pathway, to teaching mindfulness once the training has been completed. We are keen to fund someone who has the vision, capacity and ability to take the learning forward. We can help you carve this pathway however the passion must come from you and we need to see your vision and that you have clearly thought about how to realise it.
