deeper scrutiny and discussion of trauma-informed facilitation strategies;
pain and neuroplasticity;
starting up courses;
administration of courses;
validated outcome-measuring instruments for application to a chronic pain population;
use of distance delivery methods;
immunity and pain;
plus further opportunities to practice and deepen skills of enquiry.

PowerPoint presentations will be included for many of the topics.

There will also be discussions of further certification levels: Recognizing increasing skills following the Bangor, Exeter & Oxford mindfulness-based interventions teaching assessment criteria (MBI-TAC)* for assessing the competence and adherence of mindfulness-based class-based teaching.
