Ongoing Events

Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction Clinics
Date: Ongoing
Location: All three hospitals
Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction is an approach to self-care that will help individuals to cope with stress, pain and illness. The techniques that are taught will help an individual learn to focus awareness on body sensations, thoughts and emotions in a non-judgmental way. Through this practice, a person becomes able to explore their inner world of mind/body, recognize and mobilize their inner psychological resources and take better care of the self.
