ADHD diagnoses have doubled in adults over the past decade.

From session structure to participant recruitment to insurance — everything you need in place before you run your first dedicated mindfulness programme. Running your first standalone mindfulness programme is a different professional undertaking from teaching yoga. The participant relationship is different, the session structure is different, the facilitation style is different, and the professional and…

Schools serve populations with significant rates of adverse childhood experiences….
What to say, how to guide, and what to do when it goes wrong — a step-by-step resource for clinicians who want to move beyond informal mindfulness use. Most therapists who integrate mindfulness into their work do so informally — introducing a brief body scan here, guiding a breath awareness exercise there, referencing present-moment attention…
HR Directors who are serious about workplace wellbeing are starting to ask a different question. Not: which external mindfulness provider should we hire? But: who in our organisation, or in our professional network, should we certify? The shift is happening for three reasons. First, external providers are expensive and culturally thin.
