| The typical minimal requirements for teaching mindfulness based cognitive therapy for mood disorders include: |
| 1. An ongoing commitment to a personal daily mindfulness practice. |
| 2. Professional qualification in clinical practice and training in mental health that includes the use of structured, evidence based psychotherapies for mood disorders (eg, cognitive-behavior therapy, interpersonal psychotherapy, and behavioral activation). |
| 3. Knowledge about and experience in treating mood disorders within a group and individual format. |
| 4. Completion of a rigorous mindfulness based teacher training program or "supervised pathway" with a minimum duration of 12 months. (A supervised pathway might include attending three, eight-week courses, the first as a participant, the second as trainee, the third as co-teacher, as well as attending workshops on theoretical and practical aspects of teaching the core practices and curriculum). |
| 5. Ongoing adherence to ethical conduct as outlined within the clinician's profession. |
| 6. On-going peer supervision with an experienced mindfulness based teacher, which includes receiving periodic (eg, annual) feedback on teaching through video recordings, a supervisor sitting in on teaching sessions, or co-teaching with planned feedback sessions. |
| For the purposes of continuing professional development, we recommend: |
| 1. Participation in residential teacher-led mindfulness meditation retreats. |
| 2. Ongoing peer supervision with mindfulness-based colleagues, developed and maintained as a means to share experiences and learn collaboratively. |
| 3. Additional training to develop skills in delivering mindfulness-based approaches, as well as maintaining one's knowledge of the current evidence for mindfulness based treatment. |
