Practicing mindfulness may improve your health and well-being!

Healthier U is pleased to be collaborating with the Stony Brook University Employee Assistance Program (EAP) and The Center for Mindful Living to offer the internationally renowned 8-week MBSR course on site to SBU employees, faculty, and students!

The MBSR course, developed in 1979 by Dr. Jon Kabat-Zinn, is considered the gold standard in mindfulness training. Through meditation practices and discussion, MBSR will help develop and strengthen your own innate ability to pay attention and meet experiences with greater understanding, equanimity and resilience.

People of all ages and walks of life have discovered the life-changing benefits of MBSR. In the US, over 30,000 people have completed MBSR with hundreds of medical centers, universities and businesses offering mindfulness training to employees, physicians, students, athletes and patients.
