Philippa Thomas co-ordinates an email-based interest group which is supported by the NZ Psychological Society. Most of the members are therefore psychologists with a professional interest in mindfulness-based approaches to psychological intervention, however, the group includes some members from other health disciplines who work in settings using mindfulness-based approaches.
