SUMMARY:🆕BRAND-NEW! Mindfulness with Ethics in Mental Health Care 🆕
DESCRIPTION:🆕BRAND-NEW!🆕\nLaw & Ethics CEs!\nMindfulness with Ethics in Mental Health Care\n  \nPresented by: Dr. Brenda Butterfield\, EdD\, MSW\, LMHC \nWhen: Friday\, January 16th\, 2026 | 9:00 AM – 1:00 PM\, Pacific Time\nWhere: Live via Zoom. You’ll receive the link via email the week of the workshop.\nContinuing Education Credit Hours: 4 Law & Ethics CEs | $125.00\nIncreasingly\, the “mindfulness movement” is influencing Western culture in education\, business\, and mental health care. Different clinical interventions called Mindfulness-Based Interventions (MBIs) are increasingly used to effectively treat clients suffering from chronic pain and stress\, depression\, anxiety\, substance use\, suicidality\, and more. These evidence-based interventions honor the mind/body connection and align well with integrated health care using the bio-psycho-social treatment model. \nWhile psychological interventions are typically knowledge-based and directed toward client change irrespective of the clinician’s health and well-being\, MBIs are quite different. A mindfulness-based therapist is ethically obligated to teach from one’s own lived experience. Practicing improves their health and well-being\, which research shows correlates with clients’ treatment outcomes. Therefore\, developing a mindfulness practice benefits both the clinician and the client. There are many ways to cultivate mindfulness in daily life\, with and without meditating. \nIn this experiential workshop\, you will learn a variety of simple self-care practices to use anytime\, anyplace\, from the grocery store to the forest!  Yes! Mindfulness in nature is an evidence-based practice that is even more accessible to many people.  Whether indoors or outside\, MBIs improve our health and well-being.  Learn more about the mind-body connection through practicing somatic and emotional awareness better to understand your behaviors and your clients’ behaviors\, too. \nIn addition to learning practices for oneself and clients\, we’ll explore questions like what mindfulness is. What does it mean to BE mindful and to practice mindfulness? What’s the difference between mindfulness and meditation? What’s the therapeutic value of mindfulness in therapy? And perhaps most important of all\, what are ethical imperatives for calling oneself a “mindfulness-based therapist?” \nWorkshop Objectives:\n\nUnderstand the benefits of integrating mindfulness in mental health care and the ethical implications for doing so.\nLearn the difference between meditation and mindfulness by learning simple self-care practices to activate the parasympathetic nervous system for emotional regulation anytime.\nExplore the language\, concepts\, and phenomena of mindfulness\, and practice ways of introducing mindfulness to clients (e.g.\, automatic pilot\, present-moment awareness\, inner experience\, noticing\, cultivating\, practice\, and ways of being).\nLearn about the mind/body relationship between chronic stress (CBT thinking errors) & health (depression/anxiety/panic attacks)\, enabling you to explain the functioning of the autonomic\, sympathetic\, and parasympathetic nervous systems in easy ways.\n\nREGISTER HERE\n  \n
