Mindfulness in Integrative Healthcare

A clinician's view of mindfulness

This course is for healthcare providers who want to judge when mindfulness may help a patient or client, explain its potential benefits and refer people to suitable programs. It is as much about professional judgment as personal practice.

What you will cover

• What mindfulness is, and what it is not, through presentations and direct experience
• Research on benefits and risks
• Referral pathways for patients
• Your own wellbeing as a busy provider

Who should take it

Clinicians and other healthcare staff who work with patients on stress or pain will find the most direct use. Because it weighs risks as well as benefits, it avoids overselling the practice.
