Preventing Depression Relapse with Mindful Action Strategies

LIVE Workshop: Thursday, July 24th, 2025

Depression will directly affect a billion people alive today at some point in their lives. For many, it keeps coming back. Living with depression, sustaining gains from therapy, and recovery is often the real challenge. Without continued support, structure, and clear next steps, there is a real risk of relapse.

This interactive workshop, led by internationally recognized mindfulness researcher and clinician Oxford Professor Willem Kuyken, introduces a new, practical approach to sustaining mindfulness as a protective factor against depression relapse. Instead of asking clients to “do more,” this method focuses on doing things differently—bringing mindfulness into the flow of everyday life through small, intentional actions. He goes further, suggesting that learning mindfulness for life is part of not only recovery but flourishing.

Ideal for clinicians, MBCT facilitators, and those supporting others on the path to sustained wellness, this workshop offers evidence-based tools to help mindfulness take root in people’s lives, and for a lifetime.

Live Workshop: Thursday, July 24th, 2025 - 4:00 - 5:00 PM ET. Zoom. In your timezone: 1:00 PM PT / 9:00 PM BST / 10:00 PM CEST.
