Mindfulness-Based Attention Training (MBAT)
MBAT is an evidence-based 8-hour mindfulness program that comprises 4 central topics and associated practices. The concentration topic introduces participants to mindfulness "basics," including discussion of focused attention and mind wandering. The body awareness theme involves the cultivation of greater self-awareness, and the development of equanimity. The open monitoring theme emphasizes awareness of and receptivity to changing experiences and moments of uncertainty. The theme of connection addresses leadership and group cohesion, and the cultivation of kindness and connection with others. The course content and materials in the present study will entail the foundational MBAT curriculum and other related content delivered virtually over Zoom but will consist of 8, 1-hour sessions delivered across 8 consecutive weeks.
