Kabat-Zinn Program for Mindfulness in Medicine

The Kabat-Zinn Program for Mindfulness in Medicine, founded by Dr. Jon Kabat-Zinn, focuses on training patients and healthcare providers in mindfulness—paying attentive, non-judgmental awareness to present experiences. This program aims to reduce stress, improve emotional regulation, and enhance overall well-being, especially in managing chronic conditions like pain, anxiety, and depression. By integrating mindfulness practices—such as meditation and body awareness—into medical care, the program supports better health outcomes and promotes a holistic approach to healing and resilience.
