Stress Reduction Program

Orientation Sessions

As a first step toward enrollment in the Stress Reduction Program, we conduct pre-program Orientation Sessions before the start of classes. These Orientation Sessions are free of charge and required of all participants before beginning the program. During these sessions you will have the opportunity to:

• Learn about the Stress Reduction Program and explore whether it is right for you
• Meet our program instructors
• Experience, first-hand, mindfulness methods and approaches you will be learning during the program
• Confirm your place in the class that fits into your schedule and enroll in the program.

Orientation Sessions are conducted in the Chang Building at the University of Massachusetts Medical School Shrewsbury Campus. We are located at 222 Maple Avenue. Shrewsbury, MA 01545. Please click here for directions (PDF document).
