For Kaiser Permanente Healthcare Professionals:
An ONLINE class teaching the fundamentals of mindfulness and MBSR sponsored by WPMG.

     

Join us for an investigation of mindfulness from the inside out. Mindfulness for Healthcare Professionals is based on the Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) program. MBSR is the best researched mindfulness intervention with positive research indications for:

  • Choosing appropriate mindfulness training techniques for high stress situations.
  • Utilizing appropriate mindfulness practices to mitigate the risk factors for burnout.
  • Discussing strategies with peers for a more positive, mindful engagement in work and home situations.
  • Identifying helpful vs. unhelpful thought patterns, problem solving, emotional regulation, and meaning-focused coping strategies.
  • Demonstrating meaningful change in personal mindfulness, perceived stress, and burnout as shown in standardized measures administered pre- and post-activity.

Eligibility
This course is open to all  Kaiser Permanente healthcare professionals in Washington State
