Who this is for

Individuals who have completed their training in MBSR or MBCT ( at least level 2 training at Bangor University), and have taught at least three MBSR or MBCT courses.

"This is the first training that I have found that allows me to use many of my skills.

Participants attending the course will really benefit enormously.

Not only are they getting the basis of the MBSR programme but they are also getting a huge amount of practical assistance and explanations on how to assist themselves and ultimately learn to have a different relationship with their pain."
