Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction
Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) is an eight-week, group-based program designed to reduce stress and enhance well-being through systematic training in mindfulness meditation and body awareness. Developed by Jon Kabat-Zinn in 1979, MBSR is now offered in hospitals, clinics, and community settings worldwide, with extensive evidence supporting its efficacy for chronic pain, anxiety, depression, and overall quality of life.
