Abstract
This manual was created to serve as an educational resource for occupational therapy students, clinicians, and educators about mindfulness practice, assessments, and interventions. By using and applying the described mindfulness techniques of this manual into their personal and professional lives, these individuals may benefit themselves and the clients that they serve on their day-to-day basis. Readers are encouraged to use this resource only to understand and apply these techniques at a basic level, and to seek professional advice or guidance from a formally trained mindfulness certified practitioner for any advanced training and application based on their individual interests and needs. The manual is comprised of eight chapters with specific areas that mindfulness can help in improving. These areas are self-awareness, relational context, emotional regulation, emotional intelligence, therapeutic use of self, self-efficacy, self-compassion, and gratitude, and compassion for others. Throughout this manual, various evidence-based research articles were included to emphasize the widespread use of mindfulness practice and provide resources for potential assessments, interventions, and practices. After reading the manual, students, educators, and clinicians will have an increased knowledge of mindfulness-based occupational therapy assessments and interventions. Furthermore, this population can assess their own strengths in each aforementioned topic area by completing a self-assessment and then look to the appropriate interventions section for resources and usability to work on their identified areas of weakness.
