What is it?
A stress reduction center is exactly that, a place where you’ll go to complete a program with the goal of elimination of or decreasing of stress. A lot of them will have a pre-program orientation before you actually go to participate. This would be an opportunity for you to examine the program and make sure that it is right for you. You can look at the specific aspects, what is done, where it’s done, etc… to make sure it’s a good fit.

When taking the classes they are all high participation, high support, highly structured so that everyone can reach and reap the full benefits of the program. The often deal with the areas of:

  • Stress
  • Medical conditions
  • Psychological distress
  • Prevention and wellness

Quite a few of them use the practice of mindfulness meditation, gentle stretching, group dialogue and mindful communication in order to enhance every day awareness, home assignments, home materials, etc…

What are the benefits?
