The Manitouwadge Family Health Team social worker offers an 8 week Mindfulness Program. This program is usually offered after business hours and in a group format.

The Mindfulness Program helps to focus on past or present senses to help release the stresses associated with those feelings. Patients who have participated in this program have reported relief of physical ailments and improved sleep. This program provides a person with the tools to continue this practice on their own, in a quiet space, to reflect on their feelings and emotions, long after the program is completed.

Sessions are 30-60 minutes in length, once per week for 8 weeks.
