Caregivers are at a high risk of burnout. Mindfulness-based interventions have been shown to significantly reduce burnout, stress, and anxiety. Mindful Self-Care for Clinicians and Caregivers: A Group Facilitator’s Guide provides a practical and scholarly resource for facilitators who provide mindful self-care groups for clinicians and caregivers. Developed by experts in the field of mental health, this book includes session by session guides (visual aids, audios, and videos) to support group facilitators. The book introduces readers to the theory and empirical foundations underlying mindfulness practices. The second section describes the development of the group intervention and presents a model for understanding the challenges of caregiving and emotional states related to this work. An online companion site containing audio and video files provides additional resources to help support facilitations in implementing this new model.
