Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction Course

June 2023 | Online

We partnered with health professionals to deliver an eight-week evidence-based mindfulness training program to assist people with stress, anxiety, depression and pain.

  • "I found the MBSR highly beneficial and have already recommended it to some of my friends. I have started developing different tools to use in various situations to assist with how I might normally deal with stress and anxiety on a daily basis."

    - Participant

  • "I was able to learn ways to accept difficult emotions and to manage my stress. The workshop invoked feelings of inspiration and encouragement.”

    - Participant

Participants' scores of resilience increased from 4.9 (pre-group mean) to 7.7 (post-group mean).

Participants reported a decrease in depression, anxiety and stress.
