Our teachers are knowledgeable about the impact of trauma, recognize how trauma can manifest in the body and mind, incorporate trauma-informed mindfulness practices into their teaching, and actively seek to prevent re-traumatization.\r\n\r\nHowever, we acknowledge that mindfulness practices are not a cure-all to emotional distress and\/or trauma. Those who are living with trauma and engage in mindfulness practices, particularly sustained attention to their internal experience, may experience heightened emotions of traumatic stress and\/or potential re-traumatization. If at any point you notice signs of distress or are triggered, our teachers are available to meet with you privately to help better support you in your mindfulness practice and connect you to any on-campus therapeutic resources you may need.\r\n\r\nIn addition to your instructor, I strongly encourage you to contact the many other support services on campus that stand ready to assist you.\r\n\r\n<b>Students:\u00a0<\/b>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li><a class=\"u-link-external\" href=\"http:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/uhs\/ucc\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">University Counseling Center<\/a><\/li>\r\n \t<li><a class=\"u-link-external\" href=\"http:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/care\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CARE Network<\/a>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rochester.concerncenter.com\">CARE Resource Center\u00a0<\/a><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<b>Employees:\u00a0<\/b>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li><a class=\"u-link-external\" href=\"https:\/\/www.urmc.rochester.edu\/eap.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Employee Assistance Program<\/a><\/li>\r\n \t<li><a class=\"u-link-external\" href=\"https:\/\/www.urmc.rochester.edu\/behavioral-health-partners.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Behavioral Health Partners<\/a><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<b>Entire University Community:\u00a0<\/b>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li><a class=\"u-link-external\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/uhs\/ucc\/#ThrivingCampus\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ThrivingCampus<\/a><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>","background_color":"#ffffff","width":"width-large"},{"acf_fc_layout":"card_grid","anchor":"","css_class":"","title":"<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\">Rave reviews<\/h3>","description":"<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Here's what people are saying about their experience learning to meditate.<\/p>","background_color":"#f4f4f4","width":"width-large","columns":"2","cards":[{"card_title":"","card_text":"\u201cThe most meaningful part of class is the fact it was intentional time dedicated to self-care and mindfulness throughout my week with others who were also trying to build healthy habits.
