Launch of the International Registry for MBCT Instructors

Thank you for your interest in Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy. Led by Dr Zindel Segal, Dr Willem Kuyken and numerous international colleagues, an online registry of MBCT teachers / trainers is being launched. ACCESS MBCT is a response to a number of trends in the field that centre around quality assurance, adherence to best practices and public access to MBCT. The guiding principles behind the registry are the following:

Our VISION is to support the provision of high quality Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy.

Our MISSION is to provide assurance of quality MBCT through the articulation and dissemination of training standards for MBCT therapists and trainers.

Our OBJECTIVE is to maintain an online registry of MBCT therapists and trainers that is accessible by the public and lists local MBCT therapists who have met the practice standards outlined in the MBCT Training Pathway.

ACCESSMBCT Launch

We invite you to attend the launch, which will feature Dr Zindel Segal and Dr Willem Kuyken introducing Access MBCT and responding to question from the invited guests. The launch will be interactive and will outline the rationale for ACCESS MBCT’s development, describe the registration process and identify particular challenges related to standard setting faced by MBCT trainers/training institutes in different countries.

To participate you will need a computer with camera and sound. Further meeting instructions will be sent once you register. There will be an opportunity to ask questions during the launch and we plan to record the session and distribute the footage more widely to share as a media pack to the mindfulness community.

The launch event will happen 8am Toronto time - please check the time in your area here to ensure you join at the correct time

We look forward to seeing you there

Kind regards

Zindel Segal
