This live event takes place Saturday, September 19, 2 pm-4 pm EDT (11 am-1 pm PDT).

Mindfulness, considered the heart of Buddhist meditation, is a practice that allows people to develop present-moment awareness both on meditation cushions and in daily life. Other spiritual traditions, including Christianity, also contain practices that foster mindful living and engagement. Clinical uses of mindfulness have piqued the interest of the clinical professions in the last 25 years, with more secular applications becoming popular. In this course, Dr. Jamie Marich, a teacher of mindfulness and spiritual practices and trauma specialist, guides clinicians through the fundamentals of mindful practice. Special attention is paid to practicing and implementing practical applications of skills. This is not a course where you will be bogged down by slide after slide of research and theory. You will gain no fewer than 10 skills in the areas of grounding, stabilization, body awareness, breath work, self-soothing, and crisis management that you can take back to your clinical setting tomorrow. Learn how to adapt techniques to serve clients who traditionally “resist” affect regulation and stabilization strategies. Additionally, you will not be asked to reinvent the wheel of your existing clinical practice; rather, you will be shown how to build on what you already know. Become more trauma-informed in your clinical practice through work with simple, effective mindfulness-informed approaches.

Implicit Bias in Health Care

The role of implicit biases on healthcare outcomes has become a concern, as there is some evidence that implicit biases contribute to health disparities, professionals' attitudes toward and interactions with patients, quality of care, diagnoses, and treatment decisions. This may produce differences in help-seeking, diagnoses, and ultimately treatments and interventions. Implicit biases may also unwittingly produce professional behaviors, attitudes, and interactions that reduce patients' trust and comfort with their provider, leading to earlier termination of visits and/or reduced adherence and follow-up. Disadvantaged groups are marginalized in the healthcare system and vulnerable on multiple levels; health professionals' implicit biases can further exacerbate these existing disadvantages.

Interventions or strategies designed to reduce implicit bias may be categorized as change-based or control-based. Change-based interventions focus on reducing or changing cognitive associations underlying implicit biases. These interventions might include challenging stereotypes. Conversely, control-based interventions involve reducing the effects of the implicit bias on the individual's behaviors. These strategies include increasing awareness of biased thoughts and responses. The two types of interventions are not mutually exclusive and may be used synergistically.

1. INTRODUCTION

Mindfulness is not a simple relaxation technique. When the full meaning of mindfulness is considered, mindfulness is about learning to embrace whatever life brings in the present moment and to respond rather than to react. Mindfulness-based interventions are not one-size-fits-all in their use within clinical work. A skilled clinician is able to adapt and modify the use of mindfulness-informed interventions within their settings. And skillful use generally starts with clinicians having their own mindfulness practices.
