Mindfulness-Based Stress Management (MBSM) for Helping Professionals
$30.00

04/25/2026 @ 9:00 - 11:00 AM (EDT)

You did not choose this work expecting it to be easy. Compassion fatigue, occupational stress, and burnout are not signs that you are doing it wrong — they are signs that you are human, doing extraordinarily demanding work without enough tools to sustain it.

This 2-hour live virtual training introduces Mindfulness-Based Stress Management (MBSM): a skills-focused, evidence-informed approach developed specifically to help professionals in high-demand fields actively manage occupational stress — not simply reduce it.

MBSM extends that foundation with a professional orientation: it is built on the premise that stress will continue to show up in your work — with your clients, your caseload, and your system. What changes is your relationship to it and your capacity to navigate it with skill, awareness, and intention.

Research on mindfulness training in healthcare and helping professions demonstrates improvements in occupational stress, emotional reactivity, compassion fatigue, and therapeutic presence. In this session, we bring that evidence to life.

You will learn the neuroscience behind stress and mindfulness, engage in facilitated practice, and leave with a practical management framework and curated resources you can use starting today — from home, your office, or wherever you join us on Zoom.

What You Will Learn

  • The key distinction between stress reduction and stress management — and why it matters for helping professionals

  • The neuroscience of occupational stress: how chronic exposure affects the brain, body, and clinical performance

  • The evidence base for mindfulness-based interventions in healthcare and social service settings

  • Core mindfulness practices adapted for professional use: breath awareness, body scan, and open observation

  • How to integrate brief, sustainable mindfulness practice into a high-demand schedule

  • Post-session resources, programs, and a daily practice framework for continued development

Who This Training Is For

This session is designed for licensed and unlicensed helping professionals, including:

  • Licensed Clinical Social Workers (LCSWs) and Licensed Social Workers (LSWs)

  • Licensed Mental Health Counselors (LMHCs) and Licensed Professional Counselors (LPCs)

  • Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists (LMFTs)

  • Licensed Clinical Addiction Counselors (LCACs) and Substance Use Professionals

  • Case managers, peer support specialists, and direct care workers

  • Healthcare providers, school counselors, and nonprofit professionals

No prior mindfulness experience is required. This training meets you where you are
