Introduction to the programme• Experienced MBSR teacher taught a mindful parenting course to
young or multiply stressed mothers in this community setting for 2 years alongside the community team. During that time the basic MBSR course has been adapted to be more accessible and meaningful to the client group.
• Staff from the community team took the first course alongside clients
• One staff member - and later- a second – is undertaking training in teaching MBSR
• The community team have continued to develop the programme and now offer the programme in other areas.
• Staff teaching this programme continue to have supervision and mentoring from an experienced MBSR teacher

Why• Underserved rural community that needed a new programme.
• Integration with existing programme• Opportunity for collaboration between NHS – Bangor
University• Mindfulness known to be helpful. (Bögels; Duncan; Kabat-Zinn; Singh)

Some background
The area in question is a ’Sure Start’ and ‘Flying Start’ area: • Government funded initiative for early years – areas identified
are at high risk of early childhood behaviour problems -
• with all the risk categories Parenting Skills are a potential mitigating factor.
![Page 7: Developing an integrated community–based mindful parenting programme Skills for Life Eluned Gold & Sophie Pratt.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062511/551a31c75503463e778b4985/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
So in this community:
• Unemployment –24% benefit claimants ( number of adults of
working age lower than rest of county) • Educational attainment – 43% have no qualifications• Single parents- 4.5% of working population single parents• 81 % speak Welsh• Geographically isolated• Historically there are high proportion of extended families• Greatest deprivation in county for income, health and housing
![Page 8: Developing an integrated community–based mindful parenting programme Skills for Life Eluned Gold & Sophie Pratt.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062511/551a31c75503463e778b4985/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Issues identified in the client group
• Multiple stressors• Low self esteem• Poor literacy skills • Intergenerational habits/schemas • Mental health issues e.g. post-natal depression, chronic
anxiety.• Lack of Parenting skills• Existing programme identified as not effective
![Page 9: Developing an integrated community–based mindful parenting programme Skills for Life Eluned Gold & Sophie Pratt.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062511/551a31c75503463e778b4985/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Why mindfulness?
Evidence from other programmes indicate mindfulness:• Reduces stress• Improves executive function - Emotion regulation.• Can decrease the cycle of intergenerational habits• Develops self nourishing & compassion• Improves relationshipsetc
![Page 10: Developing an integrated community–based mindful parenting programme Skills for Life Eluned Gold & Sophie Pratt.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062511/551a31c75503463e778b4985/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Why not mindfulness?• Counter cultural – 81 % Welsh speakers • Middle class and inaccessible• Untried• Lack of Staff skills • Not initially chosen by clients • Too demanding – costly?
![Page 11: Developing an integrated community–based mindful parenting programme Skills for Life Eluned Gold & Sophie Pratt.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062511/551a31c75503463e778b4985/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Early Lessons• We quickly learned that:-• Counter cultural for staff too! (NHS staff solve problems!!).• The approach needs to be relevant and accessible – language and
cultural issues• The facilitator needs to know the client group• The participants need to be informed and ‘opt in’ • Home practice can be problematic• It needs to be integrated into the existing programme
![Page 12: Developing an integrated community–based mindful parenting programme Skills for Life Eluned Gold & Sophie Pratt.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062511/551a31c75503463e778b4985/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Nevertheless
Even from the early classes there were some encouraging results:-• Measures taken in the first couple of classes showed that the
participants with the most need benefited the most.
And there were some interesting individual cases.
![Page 13: Developing an integrated community–based mindful parenting programme Skills for Life Eluned Gold & Sophie Pratt.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062511/551a31c75503463e778b4985/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Some solutions• Flexibility of programme • MP3s rather than CDs• Handouts rather than hand book• Shorter practices• Art and creative activities in sessions• Integration into existing programme - mindful exercise and
mindful cooking.• Make the Home practice very low key and……….. • Teach out of home practice• Participants developed their own course work book

Observations - What they said
From parents• I’m noticing more - • I’m using breathing space to help in managing children -
making a noticeable difference in children’s behaviour• I have shared with families & friends• I can talk better with my partner about how I’m feeling• It has built my confidence and helped me with copingFrom Staff• Noticed an increase in self esteem
![Page 25: Developing an integrated community–based mindful parenting programme Skills for Life Eluned Gold & Sophie Pratt.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062511/551a31c75503463e778b4985/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Spin offs• Further ways to integrate mindfulness, e.g. Mindful baby
massage• Interest shown within larger staff group within the NHS -e.g.
other Health visitors/Nurses/Managers• Genesis – skills for return to work programme• Spreading out geographically – offering the programme from
other centres• Other community organisations are interested. E.g. Women's
Aid Centre, Communities First
![Page 26: Developing an integrated community–based mindful parenting programme Skills for Life Eluned Gold & Sophie Pratt.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062511/551a31c75503463e778b4985/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Summary of key findings• The approach can be delivered in an acceptable way.• Early results indicate that the programme appears to lead to
an increase in well-being in multiply stressed mothers.• The programme needs to be delivered in a flexible way • Staff development is an important ingredient• This project has initiated interest in other community groups
and there is potential to develop more
![Page 27: Developing an integrated community–based mindful parenting programme Skills for Life Eluned Gold & Sophie Pratt.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062511/551a31c75503463e778b4985/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
What next?• Training more staff in order to extend the programme• Training welsh speaking teachers• Further and more detailed research into aspects of the
programme• Extending the programme beyond the immediate geographical
area• ? Mindful community - a collaboration of a number of
organisations within one community
