Stress Management Resources

Just a small note to provide additional info about Meditation resources.

Robert Beadle wrote in to tell me about The Best of Stress Management, at http://www.mblwellness.com, by Dr. James Gordon, MD, founder and director of the Center for Mind-Body Medicine.

He and other top medical experts in the field have developed a stress management "course in a box" called Best of Stress Management. Based on Dr. Gordon's well-respected training programs for health professionals, Best of Stress Management is a learning program that provides everything needed to create an individualized mind-body health program. Taught by Dr. Gordon and his colleagues, the program includes video and audio instruction and exercises, written materials and ongoing interaction with experts via the web. Just last week, the Center received word that they have won a $3m, 3 year grant to take the program on which the kit is based to Gaza, the West Bank and Israel to address the serious trauma problem of the region.

If you'd like to learn more about stress, visit his site.

Some of the stress information at http://www.mblwellness.com is sourced from http://www.helpguide.org , an excellent free site providing Expert, Non-commercial Information on Mental Health and LifeLong Wellness, a project of the Rotary Club of Santa Monica and the Center for Healthy Ageing.

I checked out the schizophrenia section of http://www.helpguide.org, and it provided a solid introduction to the topic, with links to other sites. As my mum has suffered from serious paranoid schizophrenia for the last 40 years, and has experienced most forms of treatment, for me, it's a useful site to bookmark.
