Mindfulness: Good Medicine for Work Stress

Dates:  October 25 - November 29
Time: Tuesdays, 6 – 7:30 PM

Description:
Grace Bullock PhD wrote: “Work-related stress and job burnout are among the leading causes of poor physical and mental health, with many workers suffering from anxiety, depression, and exhaustion. In recent years, numerous stress management interventions and mindfulness-based workplace programs have come to the rescue, promising less stress. But do these programs work?”

She states that two studies in particular show that mindfulness may help create work/life habits that help workers leave work at work, deal with stress, and remain self-aware and alert.  

This class will provide participants with basic instruction for developing the skills of mindfulness and support for bringing those skills to the workplace. It is also suitable for those no longer in the workplace who want to build mindfulness skills.
