This 6-week online course is designed for educators, health professionals, social workers, front-line workers, community leaders interested in integrating mindfulness into their professional work environments.

The MAC comprises 12 theme-based lessons and simple mindfulness practices that address the skills individuals need to nurture self-awareness, manage emotions, think critically, build resilience, and act responsibly. You will develop your understanding of the Council process as an intervention and shared learning platform for your workplace.
