Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction Group

UHS' Mental Health Services offers a weekly Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction group. Sessions are open to students, faculty and staff; advance registration is required.

Mindfulness is a way of paying attention with intention, in the moment and without judgment. With regular practice, MBSR has the potential to lower stress, anxiety and depression, promote relaxation, improve concentration, raise self-awareness and enhance the immune system.
