Presenter(s)&Credential(s): Laura Chackes, Psy.D., Licensed Psychologist and Owner of The Center for Mindfulness & CBT, has been in practice as a clinical psychologist for over 12 years, doing primarily CBT with individuals, families, and groups with depression, anxiety, and related disorders. Dr. Chackes co-developed the MBCT program at Clayton Behavioral in 2013, and has been teaching Mindfulness & MBCT courses consistently since then.

General description of training:

This training will begin with the fundamentals of mindfulness, and thoroughly teach applications of mindfulness for reducing depression, anxiety, and other unwanted mood states. Participants will engage in experiential exercises each week that progress more deeply into the ways that mindfulness helps alleviate symptoms through awareness and acceptance. Participants will learn how to recognize thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations that lead to depression and anxiety, and how aversion to these reinforces the disorders. By experiencing the changes that mindfulness can make in yourself, you will then be able to teach it to your clients. Each week you will receive an audio file of a different meditation, as well as several handouts and articles. Participants will be a mixture of counselors and other healthcare professionals, as well as others from the general public who are wanting help managing their depression, anxiety, or stress. While gaining these valuable therapeutic tools, you will also be practicing self-care, which is so vital for those in the helping fields.

Presenter(s)&Credential(s): Dr. Jeanne Kloeckner, a practicing occupational therapist for over 38 years and a yoga instructor for 23 years, trained in MBSR at the University of Massachusetts Medical School Center for Mindfulness. Dr. Kloeckner is the founder of Mindful Solutions StL.

General description of training:

Mindfulness is the practice of present moment, non-judgmental awareness of one’s life experience. MBSR, based on the work of Jon Kabat-Zinn and the University of Massachusetts Medical School’s Center for Mindfulness, is
taught at integrative health centers, universities, and teaching hospitals worldwide.

Backed by neuroscience and ancient compassion based practices, this highly participatory, evidence based program combines meditation, mindful movement (gentle yoga), group discussion, and inquiry in a supportive learning environment to teach class participants how to use mindfulness to relate differently to stress.

Practicing this powerful, integrative approach tapping into and mobilizing innate inner resources for healing and well-being empowers participants to explore habitual patterns of thinking, feeling and acting, while learning practical ways to integrate mindfulness into daily life, and, to build and sustain a personal mindfulness practice.

Studies indicate that mindfulness-based stress reduction programs can reduce anxiety and increase general well-being and overall happiness. Mindfulness can be successfully learned and practiced by people of all backgrounds. No prior experience is necessary.
