Mindfulness for Educators & Helping Professionals
A 9-Session Program
SMART™ (Stress Management And Resiliency Techniques) Education is a
9-session, 20-hour evidence-based program designed to address the needs
of all those in "helping professions,” including educators, professional support
staff, mental health and health professionals.
This evidence-based course trains guidance counsellors to better manage work-related and personal stress, in order to cultivate emotional balance.
SMART integrates the teachings, practices and research from Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction, emotion theory, and compassion training to address the specific needs and challenges of educators. Each session consists of presentations, group discussion and experiential practices in mindfulness. A 4-hour silent retreat and weekly home practice is also part of the course.
SMART is a secular program, delivered by SMART UBC accredited facilitators. Successful participants receive a Certificate of Completion from UBC Faculty of Education.
