With mental health problems on the rise, it is said that around half of all lifetime mental health problems start by the mid-teens and three-quarters by the mid-twenties, according to documentation published by Public Health England, 2019.

The Mindfulness with Teenagers CPD addresses the current mental health crisis, potential triggers and risk factors to be aware of and ways in which we, as mindfulness teachers, can best support them through some of their most turbulent years. The day will involve lots of practical mindfulness activities that have been shown to be highly effective within this age range.

This CPD is delivered by mindfulness trainer, experienced former school teacher and mindfulness facilitator at Birmingham City University, Rachel Ashcroft.

The causes of being overweight or underweight are often multi-faceted and complex, but with the right kind of support and skills training, many people can transform their relationship with their body and with the food they consume, leading to greater happiness and health.

This CPD day is based on Tony’s successful Mindful Eating 6-Step Programme, which combines mindfulness, visualisation, coaching and movement to support people to take control of their weight. Tony will share information about the six steps, which include letting go of the past, believing in the future and learning to love yourself and your body. He will also share the mindfulness practices and visualisations developed specifically for this programme.

During the day, we will examine the eating cycle, which helps us to address key questions with our clients such as; why do they eat?, when do they eat?, what do they eat? and how do they eat?, and we will learn the six core skills of mindful eating that everyone can learn to cultivate joyful awareness while eating.

By the end of this day, you will have the knowledge and tools you need to develop your own mindful eating support or to incorporate it into the ways you already work with individuals or groups.

A practical workshop day exploring Acceptance and commitment Therapy (ACT), which is a wonderful, creative and dynamic way of bridging the teaching of mindfulness with a powerful therapeutical model of working. With a strong scientific evidence base, ACT provides engaging ways to help develop our therapeutic relationship. Great for mindfulness teachers, therapists, counsellors, NLP Practitioners and life coaches, ACT was originally developed as an approach to individual therapy work that could be targeted to certain specific issues including depression, anxiety and stress, addictions and eating disorders.

One of its originators, Steve Hayes, describes ACT as an ‘oddly counterintuitive model of work’. It can be engaging and playful and teaches us skills to handle unwanted and painful thoughts and feelings in a way in which they have far less significance or negative affect. Mindfulness skills are brought into play here. It also helps us focus on, and clarify our values – whatever is truly important to us, and then to utilise that knowledge to inspire us to set appropriate goals, engaging us to move forward and achieve a richer and more meaningful life.
