Working in healthcare can be stressful even in the best of times. These stresses have been greatly magnified as we all have to learn to adapt to the new normal of living in the time of COVID-19, both at work and at home. Mindfulness is needed now more than ever, and Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) is a proven method of improving resilience and wellbeing. Developed by Dr. Jon Kabat-Zinn, Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction is the core program of the Mindfulness Center. MBSR classes include instruction in mindfulness meditation, mindful movement, and other mindfulness practices. This mindfulness program includes these elements and has been adapted specifically for healthcare professionals.
