In this one-hour session on Zoom, learn why mental health conditions like stress, burnout, depression and anxiety arise, and how Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) helps support our mental health.
It is for anyone who is keen to transform their minds and wellbeing by cultivating attention, inner peace and resilience.
This session is an introduction to the 8-Week MBCT For Calm (Mar - Apr) program where we learn to steady the mind, to recognize aversion and respond skilfully to challenges, and to plan for self-care.

MBCT background
Developed by three professors, Zindel Segal (Toronto), Mark Williams (now Oxford) and John Teasdale (Cambridge), MBCT is evidence-based and approved by the National Health Service (NHS) in England as a primary care treatment.
The UK National Institute of Clinical Excellence (NICE) recommends MBCT for clients that have experienced three or more major episodes of depression.
MBCT is also widely taught to a non-clinical population as a resilient response to difficulties, and may be integrated with leadership, wellbeing, change and innovation training.
