Meetings are held on Zoom.\n\nDDP Connects UK s upports this event and all Special Interest Groups in the UK and Ireland.\ n\n\n\nDefinition of Mindfulness\nMindfulness involves bringing awareness to the present moment with kindness. It is a way of being\, which can be e nhanced through meditation practice. Bringing mindfulness into our lives a nd into our DDP practice\, we can help to develop our awareness of our own thoughts\, emotions and body sensations and our awareness of our client ’s unique nature\, feelings and needs. It is an ongoing learning process \, not an end point.\nAims of a Specialist Interest Group in DDP and Mindf ulness\n\n To offer a safe\, respectful\, compassionate\, non-judgemental way of supporting colleagues who are open to exploring mindfulness in the ir lives and clinical work.\n To recognise that members will have varying levels of knowledge and experience of mindfulness and that this will be m et with an attitude of PACE.\n To offer opportunities to practice some gu ided mindfulness exercises and meditations.\n To share ideas and resource s for using Mindfulness with DDP clients - for example\, through networkin g\, watching DVD’s\, reading articles and/or books.\n To determine whet her specific training or teaching in Mindfulness would be beneficial to me mbers and identify ways of providing this (the SIG itself differs from a ' Study day' - the latter involves one or more speakers preparing a topic fo r presentation - and there is a fee).\n To explore possible research idea s for DDP and Mindfulness.\n To work within one’s own area of expertise and competence and uphold the requirements and expectations of DDPI and D DP Connects UK.\n\nThe SIG will not be a forum for providing clinical supe rvision or consultation - this is something that can be accessed through D DP Connects UK.\n\nMindfulness research has shown:\n\n‘Mindfulness-based reflective practice’ can bring a vitality and fluidity to critical refl ection. Being in the here and now can highlight discomfort\, pain and unce rtainty. Mindfulness can act as a support to personal and professional dev elopment and to the content &\; processing of clinical work (Polly Nuge nt et al 2011)\n\nMindfulness can be a useful intervention in addressing p arental stress in adoptive parents and in increasing parental compassion ( Gurney-Smith et al.\, 2017)\n\nClinician burnout can be significantly redu ced and resilience bolstered\, if clinicians are taught to attune to thems elves and reduce stress through mindfulness practice (Krasner et al.\, 200 9)\n\nMindfulness training can help to create receptivity and an ability t o approach rather than withdraw from difficult situations (Urry et al.\, 2 004) ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://ddpnetwork.org/uk/wp-content/uploads/sit es/2/2025/11/DDP-Mindfulness-Interest-Group.jpg CATEGORIES:Special Interest Group (SIG) LOCATION:Online\, England\, Online\, England\, United Kingdom GEO:52.355518;-1.17432 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=England\, Online\, England\ , United Kingdom;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=Online:geo:52.355518,-1.17432 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:2-2506@ddpnetwork.org DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20270118T093000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20270118T110000 DTSTAMP:20261020T140426Z URL:https://ddpnetwork.org/uk/events/south-wales-ddp-interest-group-januar y-2027/ SUMMARY:South Wales DDP Interest Group\, January 2027 DESCRIPTION:The South Wales DDP Interest Group is for anyone who has an int erest in DDP and has completed DDP Level One and above.\n\nThe hope is tha t it will help bring colleagues together\, from a range of backgrounds\, t o feel part of a larger community and to encourage ongoing learning and re flection in their practice.\n\nUsing the DDP principles\, we also hope the SIG will renew interest and practice of DDP\, share DDP experiences and p ractices\, as well as building connections across staff and teams.
