Integrative Body-Mind-Spirit (IBMS) Model

The Integrative Body-Mind-Spirit (IBMS) model was developed by integrating wisdom from traditional Chinese culture with contemporary counselling and mind-body techniques. The IBMS model emphasizes the interconnectedness of body, mind and spiritual meaning. Adopting the strength based approach, it is believed that every human being has his/her own strengths and resources to grow and transform from various life experiences. This training module will introduce the fundamental concepts and values of the IBMS model. Simple body-mind techniques to empower patients and family members will be shared and experiential activities will be carried out to facilitate growth and transformation.
