The Academy of Integrative Mental Health is proud to present ‘3-Core Integrative’-a certification program for integrative mental health practitioners. The 3CI certification program is founded on the 3 most research-backed components of the integrative/holistic approach to mental health- mindfulness, exercise and nutrition. 3CI presents the comprehensive research on these foundational pillars of integrative mental health, and consolidates it into bitesize chunks that practitioners can assimilate and relay to clients. Most importantly, 3CI introduces specific integrative assessment tools, treatment planning templates and interventions that can be used immediately in sessions. Practitioners will finish the training with a road map for effectively utilizing the three evidence-based components of integrative mental health to compliment their preferred theoretical orientation.
