It Starts with the Breath: Development and Implementation of an Ongoing Weekly Mindfulness Group at the VA

This presentation will discuss the development and implementation of an ongoing weekly mindfulness group at the VA. The Buddhist roots, treatment protocols, and therapeutic aims of this mindfulness treatment model will be reviewed, as well as recent innovations and expansions. Members will experience the mindfulness group through direct participation in a typical group, which will include hands-on guided mindfulness exercises and discussions/reflections.
