OVERVIEW Mindfulness is understood as the ability to pay attention to the experience of the present moment with an attitude that includes kindness and suspension of judgment. In recent decades, its practice has been incorporated into the world of health and psychotherapy with the aim of fostering new ways of relating to experience, particularly in the face of physical and emotional pain. Thus, so-called contemplative studies have emerged, which report the benefits of mindfulness practice along with biological correlates and mechanisms of action. Recent studies point to its potential in the prevention and management of depression, anxiety, and stress. In line with the above, the Millennium Institute for Research on Depression and Personality (MIDAP) offers this experiential and didactic course on the contributions of contemplative practices—mindfulness and compassion—to personal and relational well-being. It combines experiential learning with theoretical conceptualizations of mindfulness and its scientific correlates. Central Topics: Foundations of the practice of mindfulness meditation. Current overview of contemplative studies in the context of mind-body medicine Mindfulness-based interventions and their clinical applications AIMED AT: Health and related professionals. No previous experience in meditation required. GENERAL OBJECTIVE: To learn about mindfulness practice and its incorporation into the health field SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES: It is expected that, at the end of the course, the participant will have: Known the current scenario and the clinical relevance of Mindfulness-based Interventions. Acquired knowledge about the lines of research in mindfulness and their main results.

OVERVIEW Parenting-focused interventions have been classified as among the most effective in promoting well-being and preventing difficulties during childhood (Riera, 2016; Piquero et al., 2016). In this context, video feedback constitutes a privileged intervention tool (Facchini, Martin & Downing, 2016; Hoivik et al., 2015), with numerous investigations that show its effectiveness in the quality of interactions and bonds, as well as in variables associated with mental health and child development (Borelli et al, 2019, O´Hara, 2019, Fukkink, 2008; Olhaberry et al., 2019; Olhaberry et al., 2017; Olhaberry, León, Seguel, M. & Mena, 2015; Rusconi-Serpa, Sancho-Rossignol & McDonough, 2009; Yagmur, Mesman, Malda, Bakermans-Kranenburg & Ekmekci, 2014; Steele et al., 2014). Psychotherapy specialists highlight the importance of considering the mental aspects that underlie behavior, in order to understand the interactions between parents and children (Fonagy, Gergely & Jurist, 2018; Sharp & Fonagy, 2008), recognizing the caregiver's mentalization capacity as a key element to respond sensitively to children's needs and promote greater attachment security (Borelli et al, 2019; Zeegers, MAJ, Colonnesi, C., Stams, G.-JJM & Meins, E, 2017). Parental reflexive function or mentalization has been considered a key factor for affective and social development, for achieving self-regulation and intergenerational transmission of attachment (Fonagy, P., Steele, H. & Steele, 1991; Borelli et al 2018; Zeegers, MAJ, Colonnesi, C., Stams, G.-JJM & Meins, 2017). In this scenario, video feedback constitutes a privileged tool to promote parental reflexive functioning based on the observation of interactions in a protected and accompanied space. It facilitates the regulation of caregivers and the exploration of internal states in themselves and their children based on a careful approach to resources, which favors the understanding of difficulties. The video feedback course also seeks to enhance the therapist's reflective skills by identifying mental states and their triggers in themselves and in the dyads or triads requesting care (Bateman & Fonagy, 2016). In this way, the patient is in the therapist's mind, and the main concern is not the behavior itself, but rather the mental states that sustain it (Allen, Fonagy, & Bateman, 2008). In accordance with the above, the Millennium Institute for Research in Depression and Personality (MIDAP) offers the online course "Video feedback as an intervention tool in early childhood," seeking to provide fundamental content about this technique and its application. It considers its use in different relational contexts in which young children participate (mother/father-child dyads; family triads) and provides basic tools for use in both in-person and online psychotherapy. TARGETED AT: Professionals who provide therapeutic interventions with families and young children; Psychologists, family doctors, psychiatrists, social workers, and occupational therapists. GENERAL OBJECTIVE: To provide initial theoretical and practical content for the understanding and use of video feedback in working with young children and their families.

OVERVIEW Suicide in Chile and around the world is recognized as a serious public health problem. In Chile, an average of five people die from this cause every day. Added to this figure are suicide attempts, which can be up to 20 times more frequent. This reality has an enormous impact not only on those who suffer from it but also on their loved ones and all those exposed. Suicidal ideation or attempts are a common phenomenon in many mental health diagnoses, even in undiagnosed individuals. Therefore, it is frequently observed in clinical care, and when this occurs, it inevitably impacts the therapist due to the risks involved. This has made it urgent to train the professionals in charge, both in the early detection, assessment, and management of suicide risk, as well as in learning how to internally deal with the emotional reactions triggered in these circumstances. In line with this need, the Millennium Institute for Research on Depression and Personality (MIDAP) offers this in-person workshop designed especially for these professionals. This will be a space where clinicians will have the opportunity to share what working with people at risk of suicide evokes. This involves connecting with and sharing the anxieties, uncertainties, and concerns that arise in the face of this risk, focusing primarily on the therapist. The scope and limits of therapeutic action, their responsibilities, and their level of involvement will be discussed. At the same time, ways of dealing with these emotions, experiences, and thoughts will be co-constructed, fostering the development of an empathetic, supportive, and effective therapeutic approach. This will be done through experiential and participatory activities, also addressing theoretical content such as suicide risk factors, protective factors, warning signs, ways of inquiring about this particular risk, and the design of a safety plan with the patient. At the end of the workshop, each participant will be able to: (1) Recognize the internal experience in clients at risk of suicide, (2) Develop self-observation and emotional self-regulation skills, (3) Develop skills to clinically assess suicide risk, clarify suicide risk factors, protective factors and warning signs, (4) Design a safety plan together with the consultant. AIMED AT: Psychologists, psychiatrists, other health professionals and community facilitators who are in a role of helping people at risk of suicide.

OVERVIEW Suicide in Chile in 2019 had a rate of 10.03 per 100,000 inhabitants, meaning that approximately 1,902 people died from this cause that year.

At the end of the day, participants will have updated their training in the detection, evaluation, and management of suicide risk.
