Six years ago in North Carolina, a cohort of like-minded clinicians from various parts of the state began to gather through  Southern Regional AHEC trainings being delivered in conjunction with the North Carolina Evidence Based Practices Center and faculty members from Duke University.  A professional community led by Dr. Zach Rosenthal emerged that focused on the implementation of evidence based therapy processes grounded in the "third wave" Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) traditions. These "third wave" CBT therapies  incorporate mindfulness practices into the delivery of treatment and showed the ability to effectively help when other treatments often failed. The professional network grew, evolved, and continued to discuss ways to serve both the professional community and the recipients of behavioral health services across the state. The vision clarified to unite clinicians across the state interested in collaborating to deliver high quality, evidenced-based services in the era of reimbursement reform. Deep and passionate discussions were held on how this could support and enrich professional lives, reduce burnout, and greatly improve quality of care. In reaction to COVID-19, NCMindful.org was launched in March 2020 to serve as a central point of contact, communication and collaboration for the North Carolina Behavioral Health community. Our first goal is to create avenues of immediate coping and support through cultivation of live mindfulness communities on Zoom.
