Families learn about and experience mindfulness in many ways including intensive practice-based programs such as MBSR and intensive skill-based programs such as dialectical behavior therapy (DBT). Families also become aware of mindfulness through family-focused interventions often based on MBSR and DBT models, family therapy, as well as various exercises, practices, and programs adjusted to meet the developmental, topical, or contextual needs of a particular individual, family, group, or community. In this section, we tune into MBSR and DBT as core Western approaches, with Mindful Schools (mindfulschools.org; www.mindfulschools.org) as a developmentally appropriate program, and referencing Langer’s (1989) cognitive approach. There is purposeful attention to the (in)accessibility of mindfulness and family-based mindfulness programs to families currently and historically marginalized or oppressed. We provide two corresponding family cases connecting individual family member experiences to real and potential family impacts via the ABC-X and AaBbCc-Xx models in spaces where vulnerable and oppressed families converge.
