The BC Children’s Hospital Centre for Mindfulness is pleased to again offer Professional Development Grants to support BC Children’s Hospital community members in developing their skills and expertise in mindfulness, as we continue to co-create a “more mindful hospital.” One grant of up to $4,000 CDN is available this year. Eligible applicants are any professional at BC Children's Hospital, applying for a professional development opportunity that is specifically related to mindfulness, and supports the Centre for Mindfulness’s objectives, vision and activities. Priority will be given to members of the BC Children’s Hospital Centre for Mindfulness Council, and those who have not yet received the grant. Examples of prior grants awarded include in-depth training in mindfulness teaching.
