Follow up video presentation to proposal for Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction for clients, families, and staff of residential aged care facilities

The aim of 8 week MBSR and wellness and wellbeing surveying is to get to know the client, learn from their weekly wellness feedback and create activities that cater to their various interests and strengths.

Meaningful ageing should promote activities that continue to contribute to personal growth, in addition those that provide social interaction and entertainment.

MBSR programs for clients, families, and staff supports inclusivity and sharing thereby strengthening community bonds which can in turn reduce isolation and depression. People come from diverse backgrounds and experiences and this is a time of life where this can be acknowledged and celebrated.

Family’s and staff might be surprised at the wealth of experiences and wisdom the elderly can share! This positively reframes ageing as a time of reflection, consolidation, sharing and new experiences rather than one of infirmity and dependence.
