Mindfulness Shared with Attorneys at Florida Lawyers Assistance Workshop

On July 31, 2010, Scott Rogers spoke with more than 200 attorneys attending the annual FLA workshop in Orlando, Florida.   This two-hour program provided participants with an introduction to mindfulness, an exploration of the application of mindfulness practices in working with addiction, through its integration into 12 Step groups, and the development of Mindfulness Based Relapse Prevention (MBRP).  Scott also discussed how neuroplastic changes to the brain, mediated by mindfulness practices,  can be helpful in working with addiction.
