The completion of this certificate will fulfill the first step requirement in teaching mindfulness in the respective settings.

ABOUT THE PROGRAMME

This programme is jointly organized by The Chinese University of Hong Kong and Oxford Mindfulness (OMF)
 
Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) is now recommended in the UK National Institute of Clinical Excellence (NICE) guidelines for the treatment of recurrent depression, and is becoming more widely applied to a range of other health conditions. More recent work has led to major breakthroughs in understanding how mindfulness can reduce suicidality in depression, emotional turbulence in bipolar disorder, serious health anxiety and latterly in building resilience in young people.

The new curricula, Mindfulness for Life (sometimes known as MBCT-L) are designed for diverse groups of people in a wide range of settings, such as workplaces, education, and the general population. After completing the programme, students can take a first step to teach MBCT, workshop on Finding Peace in the Frantic World and MBCT-Depression if eligible.

This programme spans over an academic year.
