Mindfulness at Work: Beyond the Taster Session

In today’s world mindfulness is everywhere and nowhere. We increasingly see workplace wellbeing programmes and workshops which introduce mindfulness to their employees, but it often doesn’t go beyond a well intentioned introductory session and taster breath practice. While these can be very beneficial, there’s much more employers can do without spending an enormous budget to provide access to evidence-based mindfulness progammes for interested colleagues.

In this webinar, Dr. Sarah-Jane Cullinane speaks about the true benefits of mindfulness for people and the places they work, along with the myths and misconceptions about mindfulness; how best to provide access for people to high quality, evidence-based and trauma-informed programmes; and how to provide ongoing resources for those who wish to support each other in their continued practice in the workplace.
