Just a reminder… This workshop is taking place in Toronto May 1-3.
MBAR is a mindfulness-based approach to preventing relapse and promoting recovery from addiction.
The course was developed by co-authors of Eight Step Recovery – Dr Paramabandhu Groves and Valerie Mason-John. The course has been shared in community settings for over a decade. The course can be taught to those recovering from addictions in 6-8 weeks.
The MBAR certificate program trains participants to faciliate this course. It was designed by Valerie Mason-John, in collaboration with Dr Groves, to teach individuals and organizations that are interested in leading the MBAR course in their communities and for their clients.
