Training Description
MBWARE Training modules are experiential and highly participatory. MBWARE Training includes evidence based practical exercises as well as didactic components.
We will discuss the scientific and psychological aspect of each skill, and more importantly the professional experiential implications and realities of each skill and capacity.
We will explore how we can cultivate and develop these skills and how to work with and apply specific training and practice exercises.
We will learn and practice specific exercises that can be applied on duty and that help strengthen the skill and our ability to apply the skill.
We will practice the specific skill in pairs and groups and conduct mock-scenario exercises together.
We will discuss the challenges experienced with each task, discuss antidotes and skillful means to work with the challenges, and continue to practice the learned techniques.
We will learn how we practice reflection-in-action and self-evaluating skills for continued learning and improvement of skills.
We will train in a series of short mindfulness-based exercises, emotional and body awareness, listening and interactive communication exercises that support the competency development.
Each participants will receive an audio CD, ( ... and we are working on developing and AP), containing guided instructions for each of these personal exercise.
The didactic components consist of understanding the findings from relevant neuroscience research studies and how these apply to emotional intelligence and inter-personal communication. Dynamics and principles of conflict escalation versus de-escalation will be explored intellectually and experientially. Research, principles and exercises are discussed from the point of view of the participant’s personal and professional experience and the challenges they encounter on duty.
