Location: EBS Tallinn (A.Lauteri 3, room 415)

On September 17, we will welcome Professor Mark Williams, Emeritus Professor of Clinical Psychology and Senior Research Fellow at University of Oxford, for a fireside chat with researchers.

Mark Williams is a leading figure in clinical psychology and the founding director of the Oxford Mindfulness Centre (2008–2013). He is widely recognised for co-developing mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT). His research has focused on psychological models and the treatment of recurrent depression, as well as the experimental cognitive psychology of processes that increase the risk of suicidality. A central aim of his work has been the prevention of suicidal depression through mindfulness-based approaches.

This informal discussion offers researchers an opportunity to reflect on the intersections of science, clinical practice, and lived experience. The conversation will be moderated by Maris Vainre and will allow space for both dialogue and questions.

All the researchers from EstWell and participants from TOKO and Vaikuseminutid are warmly welcome to attend.
