Stress Management and Resiliency Training (SMART) teaches self-care practices that help participants buffer daily stress, regain a sense of emotional control and enhance quality of life. Throughout the 8-week group program, participants build resilience through a variety of mind body principles and self-care interventions, leading to reduced medical symptoms, and enhanced quality of life.
This research-proven program helps participants:

- Experience the central role social support and connection to something greater than oneself plays in well-being.
- Practice cognitive skills that will diminish negative thought habits.
- Appreciate the role of positive thoughts and beliefs.
- Learn the importance of healthy eating, restorative sleep, and physical activity.
Successful completion of this course may be applied toward certification in the delivery of the SMART program for those who wish to deliver it to their patients.
