Delve into the differences between Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction and Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy to find the perfect instructor-led program for your mindfulness journey.

For Aspiring MBCT Teachers

Integrate the clinical application of mindfulness meditation with the tools of cognitive therapy to help individuals suffering from chronic depression.

Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) is an evidenced-based program for preventing and reducing the intensity and frequency of depressive relapse and negative affective states. It was developed by Zindel Segal, Mark Williams, and John Teasdale, experts in the fields of depression, cognitive therapy and research into the impact of mindfulness on depression.

A growing body of evidence coupled with a general interest in mindfulness-based programs as effective approaches for fostering well-being and resilience, has generated a growing demand to have MBCT more widely available. For this to happen, a larger number of highly-trained, competent MBCT teachers is needed.
