Workshop Orientation Information
Information on this page is for people that have registered and payed to attend our mindfulness-based therapy workshops. The workshops have been designed to be consistent with Psychology Board of Australia (PBA) standards for continuing professional development (CPD) for psychologists with a significant "active" component included. While only optional, Paul and I encourage newcomers to mindfulness to download and read a few of the article links below as preliminary preparation before attending. They provide a general background to mindfulness, mindfulness-training and its evidence- base. You may wish to incorporate time spent reading as part of additional CPD hours. We estimate an additional 2 to 3 hours of preparatory reading would be appropriate for the pre-workshop preparation. At various points during the latter half of the 2-day intensiver workshops there will be an opportunities to discuss issues pertaining to the readings and how you might apply mindfulness in clinical practice. Please click on the relevant highlighted links to download the articles for reading. If yo have any problems, please contact Mark at mc.mindfulnesswa@gmail.com. All documents are in Adobe PDF format.
Kind regards,
Mark Craigie and Paul Buttigieg
