When: 21 Oct 2021
Where: Online Event
Tutors: Taravajra , Estrella , Rebecca Crane
About the event:
The MBCT programme was recommended for depressive relapse by the UK's National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) in 2004. In 2009 the recommendation was updated and given key implementation priority status. The National Health System in Spain (SNS) took up this recommendation in 2014 but it's development in this country did not begin until 2015.
In that year (2015), Estrella and Taravajra started working together to expand the MBCT programme and train teachers in their own language, creating a Spanish version of the Teacher Training Pathway (TTP) from the Centre for Mindfulness at Bangor University / Mindfulness Network.
In this event, Taravajra and Estrella will talk with Rebecca Crane, who, from her position as director of the Bangor Mindfulness Centre, played a decisive role in promoting and supporting the internationalization of the TTP and the development of the MBCT programme in Spain. Together they will look back at the challenging beginnings, review the current state of implementation and also look to the future with all its possibilities, both in Spain and in other Spanish-speaking countries, especially Latin America.
The workshop will take place online using Zoom.
The evening will be delivered in English with simultaneous translation into Spanish and French.
