Applied Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) Core
Applied Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR)
Core Facilitation Certificate Program
Certified through the Factor-Inwentash Faculty of Social Work, University of Toronto
Empirically supported, the MBSR health intervention offers participants the possibility to develop a different relationship to stress resulting from chronic physical and psychological conditions. This rigorous and internationally recognized certificate program offered at The Centre for Mindfulness Studies was developed to train the teaching competencies set out in the Bangor, Exeter and Oxford Mindfulness-Based Interventions Teaching Assessment Criteria.
The MBSR certificate program consists of four modules:
• Mindfulness Core Concepts
Learn about the research and application of mindfulness
in a rigorous setting. This one-day workshop will introduce
participants to the origins, principles and practices of
mindfulness-based stress reduction.
• Mentorship in MBSR Facilitation
Novice MBSR facilitators often require ongoing mentoring for issues that arise during the MBSR group process.
Participants must have completed the 6-day Intensive
Retreat on MBSR Facilitation before enrolling.
Dates: May 6 or Aug 5, 2016
Fee: $335*
Facilitator: Evan Collins MD FRCPC

• 6-Day Intensive Training on MBSR Facilitation
This teacher training intensive will provide participants
with the opportunity to study and experience the foundational underpinnings, mindfulness practices and specific

part of this modality and is a vital skill for those wishing
to facilitate MBSR groups.
