Mindfulness-Based CE Workshops

HFO is pleased to partner with The Penn Program for Mindfulness and the Soji Zen Center to offer live APA-approved continuing education programs for mental health professionals. The Pennsylvania Board of Social Workers, Marriage and Family Therapists and Professional Counselors allows APA-approved programs to be used as CE credits for these professionals.

The Penn Program for Mindfulness (PPM)

HFO is co-sponsoring The Foundation Stress Management Programs offered by The Penn Program for Mindfulness (PPM) of The University of Pennsylvania. These 8-week programs are taught by professional instructors and present simple and effective stress reduction techniques, based on the practice of mindfulness meditation, designed to enhance overall health and quality of life. The Foundation Stress Management Programs are conducted three times per year (fall, winter and spring) in 8 convenient locations and are a thorough introduction to mindfulness meditation for personal and clinical application.

In addition, HFO is co-sponsoring PPM's Saturday series Teaching Mindfulness to Children. This Saturday series will introduce practical mindfulness and meditation techniques that have been adapted and used successfully by school-age children to promote behavioral control, improve focus and productivity, and enhance coping skills.

For students with an established mindfulness practice, this Winter 2012 PPM and HFO introduce an advanced 8-week class, Love & Grief: Mindfulness of Presence and Absence and in Spring 2012 the popular advanced class, Healing the Heart and Mind: Mindfulness Meditation for the Health Care Professional, will return.
