HPC 6355 - Mindfulness Based Counseling (3)

When Offered: Fall
This course will introduce students to mindfulness based counseling modeled on the program developed at the University of Massachusetts Medical School’s Stress Reduction Clinic. Within the context of educational and health care services, mindfulness is aimed at assisting individuals to develop an array of self-regulatory, selfcare skills. The effectiveness of mindfulness based interventions is predicated on providers who are substantively grounded in mindfulness meditation practice, hence the strong experiential component to the course.
