    Thank you for the work that you do. It is refreshing to learn about the successful integration of the MBSR program in the Greater Boston area. You clearly demonstrate that with time and patience, we can take this practice to all participants who may find this practice valuable.

    One thing you said really stuck with me. It was your comment about the need for diverse representation of MBSR trainers to reach people across ethnic groups, which is so important. I’m curious to know if there is a training program support for a person like myself (minority) to be trained and bring this practice to my local area.

    I am a post-doctoral fellow at University at Buffalo Primary Care Research Institute. My current research interest is to implement mindfulness practice for patients with chronic conditions for symptom management. One of my training goals is to gain competence in MBSR (basic) and continue with MBSR Trainer. As a fellow, I am limited in financial support and would appreciate your guidance. I am trained in Urban Zen Integrative Therapy intervention (which was my doctoral dissertation research). Now, I would like to be trained in MBSR.

    Thank you so much for any information,

      P.S. Thank you for the handout: I just printed it out and will be taping it to my locker door at work as a reminder to stay open and orient. Wonderful!
