THE MENTALIZING INITIATIVE

What they do

OUR ANNUAL BASIC and PRACTITIONER MBT TRAINING WAS THE MAJOR SERVICE EVENT of THE YEAR. THIS is A COMBINED EVENT IN WHICH THE BASIC TRAINING is HELD ON THE FIRST THREEE DAYS of THE FOUR-DAY TRAINING and THE PRACTITIONER TRAINING ON THE LAST TWO DAYS of THE FOUR-DAY TRAINING - THE TRAININGS, WHILE SEPARATE EVENTS, RUN CONCURRENTLY ON THE THIRD DAY. THIS TRAINING is of SIGNIFICANCE BECAUSE IT is ONE of ONLY TWO OFFERED IN THE UNITED STATES (U.S.) ANNUALLY, and MOST IMPORTANTLY, IT is THE ONLY IN-PERSON TRAINING LED BY THE CREATOR of MBT, PROF. ANTHONY BATEMAN, WHO TRAVELS FROM THE UNITED KINGDOM (U.K.) to JOIN U.S. BOARD MEMBERS and MI FACULTY CO-TEACH and FACILITATE SMALL GROUP ACTIVITIES.
