Free Stress-Reduction Class for Students

The Syracuse University Counseling Center, within the Division of Student Affairs, is offering a free course in Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) to SU and SUNY-ESF undergraduate and graduate students. The eight-week course meets Wednesday evenings from 6:30-8:30 p.m., beginning Sept. 25. The program also includes a retreat class that will take place Saturday, Nov. 9, from  noon-4 p.m.

Last year’s student participants praised the program and it’s benefits, describing the course as follows:

“I’m so glad this was offered and I hope it will continue to be in the future. It really helped me deal with my stress. I have already recommended it to multiple friends.”

“This course was invaluable and has changed my life in numerous ways.”

“It was a pleasure to take this course! I’m very grateful that I was able to be a part of the group!”

Further information and registration for the program will be offered at the mandatory orientation/screening sessions. Participants can meet the instructor and register for the class at one of the following two sessions:

Wednesday, Sept. 11, from 6-7 p.m. at the SU Counseling Center, 200 Walnut Place.
