- Why do you want to attend this course?
- The course involves a commitment to attend an orientation session, eight 2-hour group sessions, and to practice for 20 to 40 minutes per day between sessions using practice links and workbooks that will be supplied. Having checked all the dates and times (listed at the top of the form), can you foresee any practical or other difficulties that you may have with doing this?
- If ‘yes’, please explain
- In order to support their continuing professional development and ongoing professional registration, the group facilitator may wish to record some sessions of the mindfulness group. These recordings would be stored securely, only shared with the facilitator's supervisor and deleted after use in supervision. Please confirm whether you are in principle happy for this to occur (if all participants are in principle happy with this then we'll ask everyone to complete a more detailed consent to recording form).
- The MBCT course does ask people to make gentle movements. These can usually be adapted to meet people’s needs. If you have any physical mobility issues, please provide details below.
- Have you done any meditation or yoga/Chi Gung before?
- If ‘Yes’, please provide brief details of what you have done, whether you currently practice and how long you have been practicing for?
- Is there anything else it would be helpful for us to know that might affect how you get on in the group? (For example, it would be important to mention any mental health issues, any recent, significant stress or life events, and any concerns you might have about being in an online group of people). Even if you do not include any detail here, it is important that the facilitator is aware if these issues exist so they can support you should they manifest in the process of doing the group course.
