Introduction to Mindfulness‐Based Stress Management

Please join us for an interactive session with Penn Medicine's Penn Program for Mindfulness! This 1.5-hr workshop will provide an overview of how mindfulness works and will introduce the practice of mindfulness-based stress management. Didactic, experiential, and interpersonal exercises will demonstrate the benefits of mindfulness-based tools for use in personal & professional settings. Participants will learn how to apply mindfulness techniques to improve performance, manage personal and professional challenges, and enhance overall well‐being.

Our session will be led by Dr. Michael Baime, MD, Founder and Director of the Penn Program for Mindfulness. Dr. Baime began teaching mindfulness as a physician to support his patients with the challenges of illness. He has developed and facilitated mindfulness programming to serve a wide range of audiences, including educators to support teaching and learning; health care professionals to enhance empathy and deepen the therapeutic relationship; seriously ill individuals to cope with symptoms and manage the challenges of illness; and worksite leaders, employees, and targeted groups of professionals, to enhance focus, communication and work/life balance.

Please register in advance here! Lunch to follow from 1-1:30pm. Pennovation, PCIV, and 1776 networks welcome!
