mission

One of the primary goals of our research is to adapt and test mindfulness-based interventions for individuals with comorbid mood disorders and chronic disease. The thrust of this work is to develop evidence-based mindfulness-based interventions that are available, accessible, and scalable for patients with a range of chronic diseases and for individuals from socioeconomically disenfranchised and racially and ethnically diverse backgrounds.
