StressCare

Mindfulness training to relieve pain and stress

Register

The 8-Week MBSR Course (mindfulness-based stress reduction) is a systematic training in mindfulness with a focus on reducing stress and pain.

MBSR was developed by Jon Kabat-Zinn of the Center for Mindfulness, and has been taught in medical centers worldwide for more than 30 years.

More about Kabat-Zinn’s program

Each one of us has our own deep capacity for growth, healing and satisfaction.

One step at a time, we can discover this capacity and use it. We can restore inner balance, nurture calm, and choose wisely in the service of living a good life. We can accomplish this together in the 8-Week Course.

The beauty of this work is that you don’t have to “do” anything— just pay attention.

Since 1996, more than 2500 people have completed StressCare’s 8-Week MBSR Course and achieved significant relief.

Participants report an increased sense of well-being, a lessening of stress and pain symptoms, and a new understanding of how to stop the stress cycle and take better care of themselves.

There is effort, but no need to struggle. It’s challenging, but everyone, regardless of limitations, can do it.

Learn about the effects of stress Learn about well-being

At any moment, we are very close to home, much closer than we think. –Jon Kabat-Zinn, Full Catastrophe Living

People who benefit most are ready to try something new—beyond current limitations, towards greater health and well-being.

Each online class includes teacher guidance and instruction, small and large-group exercises, and group discussion in a supportive and compassionate environment.

There are daily home assignments, up to one hour per day, to be done between class meetings. These include guided mindfulness meditation, simple yoga, written reflections on daily experience, and suggested readings in Jon Kabat-Zinn’s Full Catastrophe Living.
