Abstract
The practice of mindfulness and compassion has been shown to be effective in improving emotional and mental well-being, as well as managing various psychological and physical conditions. However, its dissemination has led to criticisms and controversies related to the lack of uniformity in its implementation, the minimum competencies required, and the managing of its ethical/spiritual component. In addition, the importance of common factors such as therapeutic alliance and group belonging has been highlighted in its effectiveness. Culturally adapted and more accessible programs are also needed. To address these difficulties, the Inter care program based on mindfulness and compassion (IBAP) has been developed, which includes the integration of the ethical/spiritual component and the promotion of group belonging. The program is modular, adaptable to different populations, and available for Latin America. It has demonstrated benefits in emotional and mental well-being in randomized controlled trials. Together, these proposals seek to promote the practice of mindfulness and compassion more effectively and accessibly, taking into account cultural diversity and the needs of each community.
