Using Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction to Improve Medical Outcomes

​Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction has been used around the world to improve medical outcomes for people with chronic health conditions. The mind of the client is often underutilized in treatment of health concerns. There is a powerful capacity in the mind of the client to improve their own health, if given the right tools. This group seeks to teach clients what those tools are and how to use them.  It is not a replacement for other medical and mental health treatments but rather an adjunct to use alongside your current treatment plan. The group will focus on using four mindful practices to improve overall health. Instructors will seek to coordinate with other providers to ensure the best possible outcomes.

MBSR Testimonials
​

I can live more in the moment now and enjoy today and dwell less on the past and not be so anxious about the future.
Finishing the group gave me the inner knowledge to cope with my depression and anxieties that I felt stemmed from my grief. 
It gave me more food for thought than I anticipated and I feel like I have the skills to manage me thoughts better. To "mindfully worry" versus spiraling like I used to. To think further before taking action like I used to.
I definitely feel like the MBSR group helped me learn more about myself and how to sit, breathe and regulate my thoughts.
The small group was especially helpful to me to stay focused and not become anxious.
I feel so many people are not aware of how important being mindful is in all areas of our lives. I feel I found out in this class(group).
I felt listened to, encouraged and supported.
Charity did a WONDERFUL job of leading this group, she was very helpful.
