SCAL CRNA Mindfulness Program: Mindfulness for Healthcare Professionals

Join us for an investigation of mindfulness from the inside out. Our live online 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.
