About the sessions
The sessions will involve attending a mindfulness group on Mondays and Wednesdays. The total time commitment for all five sessions is approximately nine hours of participation. Participants will be emailed with the exact locations upon registration.
Importance of mindfulness
Mindfulness interventions have been shown to reduce anxiety, improve stress management, improve sleep, and increase self-compassion and acceptance. This intervention will involve activities such as meditation, mindful movements, and tips on how to incorporate mindfulness into everyday life.
There will be instruction as well as discussion involved in the program.
