A mixed-method design was utilized to gather both quantitative and qualitative data using a web-based survey. The survey was sent to students enrolled in CACREP accredited Master’s level counseling programs in the NCACES region. It was hypothesized that there is a lack of mindfulness training available to students in counselor education programs. A majority of participants reported being dissatisfied with the mindfulness training offered in their program. The results also indicated that students seem to be exposed to mindfulness as a self-care strategy, and lack training on how to use mindfulness therapeutically.NDSU Policy 190.6.2https://www.ndsu.edu/fileadmin/policy/190.pdfThesis
