Mindfulness Integration Training (M.I.T) for Mental Health Professionals was created to answer a few outstanding questions. These questions have surfaced along with the rise of mindfulness-based modalities entering into the clinical therapeutic space. They are:

• Mindfulness is not without its risks. How can therapists know when and where to effectively integrate mindfulness into their patient interactions?

• How can we provide a high-quality training program that will give patients confidence in the therapist's aptitude for mindfulness integration, both intellectually and experientially?

• How can Orange County therapists build a community around their interest in mindfulness thus creating a hub to share resources and tools that are of a high standard?

This intensive integration program will have two phases: 

Meditation

The first phase is focused on learning and practicing mindfulness. Cayce Howe is an Authorized Dharma Teacher in the Theravada Buddhist lineage by Jack Kornfield and Sharon Salzberg, and will guide you, along with the other speakers, to bring clarity and understanding to the world of mindfulness. No longer wondering if "something is missing", you will leave the course with confidence in your depth and understanding of this effective treatment modality.

Integration 

Phase two is focused on the integration of mindfulness into mental health specialties facilitated by Dr. Claudia Eppele, MD, Dr. Monisha Vasa, MD, and Dr. Anna McCarthy, Ph.D. The doctors will give you clear, straightforward methods for using mindfulness with clients and within the workplace. Each has vast experience integrating mindfulness into their professional and personal lives and looks forward to equipping you with the tools to confidently do the same.
