Dr. Casey will be discussing mindfulness, a set of practices that quiet the mind and release physical distress. Research studies show that mindfulness is effective in anxiety, depression, sleep disorders, high blood pressure and heart disease. Studies are underway to investigate the effects of Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) on adults and adolescents with ADHD, autism, cognitive impairment and many other conditions.
Mindfulness is a powerful means of strengthening compassion and empathy. It can help parents of children with special needs to manage the stress in their lives, while at the same time helping their children. A parent who is less stressed improves their child's quality of life.
Dr. Casey will guide a few very brief practices, so the workshop attendees get a taste of what mindfulness is. He will review resources for mindfulness practice.
