MINDFULNESS-BASED CHRONIC PAIN MANAGEMENT (MBCPM™) CURRICULUM
IMPLEMENTATION AND DEVELOPMENT (CID: 3503 Click Here)
DESCRIPTION
This online training, which usually follows PT and CTI training, includes developing concepts presented in the course in more depth. It includes: Practicing preambles and delivery of formal practices; deeper scrutiny and discussion of trauma -informed facilitation strategies; pain and neuroplasticity; starting up courses; administration of courses; validated outcome-measuring instruments for application to a chronic pain population; use of distance delivery methods; immunity and pain; plus further opportunities to practice and deepen skills of enquiry. PowerPoint presentations will be included for many of the topics.
There will also be discussions of further certification levels: recognizing increasing skills following the Bangor, Exeter & Oxford mindfulness-based interventions teaching assessment criteria (MBI-TAC)* for assessing the competence and adherence of mindfulness-based class-based teaching. These classes are mostly interactive in real time and constitute ongoing education and mentorship. Sessions are recorded for later study.
