Course Details

This course to is parallel to the pain course, as most of what is covered is just as relevant for those suffering from stress and stress-induced conditions.

Facilitators trained to run the pain course can also run this course using the customized MBCSM workbook and the meditations created to accompany this course. Alumni from the pain course may also work with this workbook and find it to be a useful revision.

It is particularly relevant to staff or corporations, healthcare workers and others in many industries and may help prevent stress-related challenges and enhance resilience.

Course Materials

These downloads have been created to accompany the MBCSM course. An added bonus is the poetry which can be used to encourage thoughtful discussion during this course, two of the poems helping with the concept of being mindful (Download 1) and two poems to shed light on the formal practices of Body Scan and Guided Imagery (Download 2).
Alumni of the pain version of our courses will appreciate having these meditations, too.
Music plays quietly behind the introductions and the poetry. It is not used in the formal practices: Music being a distraction from simply being open with awareness to whatever arises during the guidance.

NeuroNova Centre for Mindful Solutions Inc. (NNC) was established in 2010 to offer professional trainings in Mindfulness-Based Chronic Pain Management (MBCPM™).This work evolved from the Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) course taught by Jon Kabat-Zinn to further customize it for those living with chronic pain, a process that started in 2002 at St Michael’s Hospital’s pain clinic, Toronto, and incorporated Sunnybrook Health Science’s Centre’s pain clinic and telemedicine service from 2003.

The trauma-sensitive, trauma-informed MBCPM™ detailed curriculum is available to professionals who train to facilitate the courses for patients.NNC collaborates with University of Toronto School of Continuing Studies (UTSCS) to: (1) offer the patient/client course to professionals (the MBCPMTM Practical Training), and (2) offer training and mentorship to those who plan to facilitate the course – Curriculum Training Intensive and Curriculum Implementation and Development.
