Advanced Training Program in Mind-Body Medicine
Our Online Advanced Training Program in Mind-Body Medicine is the second step in the most complete experiential and didactic training in mind-body medicine available—anywhere. The Advanced Training Program is the next step in our continued commitment to your professional growth and development. As such, the training represents an opportunity for increased specificity. We offer two tracks to help you tailor your training experience to the populations you serve: the Adult Track and the Children and Teens Track.
Please note that this training is open only to those who have completed the initial Professional Training Program in Mind-Body Medicine. Sorry—no exceptions.
This training teaches participants how to use CMBM’s mind-body medicine techniques with individuals, families, and in classrooms. Participants will also learn to lead CMBM’s signature “Mind-Body Skills Groups,” complete with a detailed manual describing each session and discussing solutions to common issues that arise in groups.
