Scientific theory and research are important underpinnings of MBCT. Effective teachers need to understand the evidence base in order to communicate with potential participants and other interested people about research evidence and the limitations of current knowledge. The first part of this workshop provides an informative summary of research on mindfulness and MBCT that will help teachers respond to questions from their participants and others. The second part of the workshop develops knowledge and skills for evaluating MBCT courses to determine whether participants are experiencing benefits.
