Karunavira and colleagues taught a Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction course at Dorothy Stringer School in the Spring of 2008. (See his essay here)

In July Mindful Health tutors delivered a day of mindfulness training to carers in the London borough of Brent. This was funded by adult social care.

In partnership with clinical psychologists from the Neville hospital, Hove (Sussex Partnership Trust) and funded by the Dorothy Allen research fund, we led a ten week MBCT course for 16 older people (all over 65 with episodes of depression)
The effects of this course are currently being studied.
