Merra Young, MSW, LICSW, one of our Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction facilitators, leads a short meditation.

Our Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) program is an 8-week, evidence-based, experiential program providing in-depth training in mindfulness meditation and movement practices. The program also helps participants integrate mindfulness into their daily lives. Created by Jon Kabat-Zinn in 1979, MBSR is based on ancient contemplative practices integrated with western medical approaches. This program harnesses our inner resources and has been demonstrated to enhance emotional resilience.
