Mindfulness, Meditation, and Spirituality in Recovery

Course overview

Mindfulness, meditation, and spirituality practices can support recovery for people struggling with substance use disorder (SUD) and serious mental illness (SMI). Although there is increasing awareness of the benefits of these practices to support health and well-being, clinicians need more information about the specific uses and benefits in the realm of recovery for both substance use disorder and severe mental illness. By understanding some of the basics of these complementary approaches, you can add to your toolbox of strategies that can help those who seek your services. The skills you learn in this training can also support you in your own self-care and improve the quality of care you provide to your clients.
