INTRODUCTION TO MINDFULNESS FOR PATIENTS WITH CANCER AND THEIR CAREGIVERS
Tuesday October 13, 2009: 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM

Susan Smalley, PhD, UCLA Professor, Psychiatry and Biobehavioral Sciences, and Founder of the Mindful Awareness Research Center (MARC) introduces us to mindfulness: the art of openly and actively paying attention to the present moment. This approach has been scientifically proven to reduce stress, improve attention, boost the immune system, reduce emotional reactivity, and promote a general sense of health and wellness. She presents the science behind how mindfulness works on our body and brain, and offers several experiential practices that teach the basics of mindfulness meditation. She discusses how it can be used specifically by cancer patients and their caregivers.
