Description: Mindfulness Training in Primary Care (MTPC) Group Leader Training is a 5-day experiential group leader training with a mix of didactic, individual, and small group exercises designed to help attendees learn basic mindfulness group leading skills for clinical settings, and build the foundation to deliver Mindfulness Training for Primary Care (MTPC), the 8-week, trauma-informed, therapeutic mindfulness intervention. MTPC is an insurance-reimbursable mindfulness program shown to be effective for helping primary care patients with anxiety, depression, stress and/or who are coping with chronic illness increase their capacity for health behavior change, self-compassion, body awareness, and emotion regulation. This training is appropriate for professionals in the health care, community health, education, mindfulness research, mindfulness intervention, and leadership fields.

The MTPC intervention is based on the curriculum for Mindfulness Training for Living Well (MTLW), which can be adapted for delivery in primary care, mental health, and diverse community-based settings.

Prerequisites:

• Having taken Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), or Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy for Resilience (MBCT-R), or Mindfulness Training for Living Well (MTLW).
