| Course Section Number: | PSY-110-01 |
| Department: | Psychology |
| Description: | Mindfulness has become increasingly popular in programs to help support health and wellness. Studies of mindfulness programs have focused on a range of potential benefits, from stress reduction and managing blood pressure, to helping with substance abuse and sleep quality. In this course, we will examine the psychology of mindfulness, focusing on common mindfulness programs. We will consider how mindfulness today (which is often presented as set of secular tools) has roots in several contemplative traditions. Class activities will be divided between active participation in components of an established mindfulness program for stress reduction, and on examining psychological research on effectiveness and mechanisms of mindfulness. |
