First Nations Mindfulness and More: Plains Peoples Way of Thinking and Being

This online course will provide clinicians with an alternative way of thinking about the psychological concept of “mindfulness”, from a First Nations/Native American understanding. This emphasis on cultural diversity will also enhance the therapist’s capacity to work with Native clients by giving a rare glimpse into another way of living, thinking and being. By showing a healthy way of being within Plains Native cultural understanding, it will help to counteract some of the racial stereotypes and lack of information rife in some communities.
