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.

Building upon the knowledge and insights you gained from Level One, these sessions will acquaint you with the Mindfulness Ambassador Council (MAC), our research-based curriculum for youth. 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.

As part of the training, participants have access to MWB’s educational materials but are not entitled to replicate, reproduce or modify the MAC Student Guidebook, MAC Facilitator Guidebook, lesson plans, handouts, and questionnaires without expressed permission from Mindfulness Without Borders. Mindfulness Without Borders retains all intellectual property rights to the Mindfulness Ambassador Council Student and Facilitator Guidebooks.
