We know that your time is precious and appreciate your contribution to the important and relevant research that we are involved in.

Research

Openground is committed to evidence-based practice. We collaborate in research projects with Australian universities to ensure that we offer credible and evidence-based programs and to ensure quality control. Several research projects on anonymous data are currently being undertaken and all results/publications well be listed on this website when available.

Openground's MBSR courses are based on the work of Professor Jon Kabat-Zinn and colleagues at the University of Massachusetts Medical Centre. The MBCT courses (beginning soon) are based on the research of Segal, Williams and Teasdale.
