- description
- MBCT-Brief includes 8 weekly 1-hour group sessions delivered either via telephone or video teleconferencing. The decision to deliver the intervention either via phone or teleconferencing will be made based on participant preference obtained during the formative focus groups. Telephone delivery of MBCT-Brief only requires a landline, while teleconferencing requires either a smartphone, tablet, or computer with audio and video functionality. During the MBCT-Brief intervention the instructor will lead in-session practice of medication and cognitive therapy exercises, guided inquiry, and assign and review at-home practice exercises. All sessions will be audio-recorded. Participants will be encouraged to practice daily meditation in between group sessions for 20 minutes, 6 days per week. Participants will complete practice logs to document daily meditation practice.
