How to Build Community as a Therapist or Facilitator

The sense of connection created in a group setting or between a facilitator and client has been shown to play an essential role in advancing the clinical and therapeutic benefits of mindfulness for practitioners. Although we know the benefits and importance of community, there is much left unknown about how we as facilitators and therapists go about building community. What is the role of community in mindfulness programs? How do you build community in-person and online? This discussion between the acclaimed author and clinical psychologist Dr. Elisha Goldstein and the Founder of the Mindful Society Global Institute, Michael Apollo, will explore these questions and includes an opportunity for members to engage in questions and responses.
