Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction Center of NJ is a specialized educational center dedicated to teaching mindfulness meditation as a powerful tool for managing stress, pain, and a variety of life challenges. It stands out as the first center in New Jersey certified to offer the Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) program, providing a structured, evidence-based approach to cultivating well-being.
The center’s core offering is the MBSR educational program, which teaches participants to expand awareness, develop relaxation techniques, and respond more skillfully to stress. Under the guidance of Dr. Diane Handlin, a licensed psychologist and the first certified MBSR instructor in the state, the program is designed for individuals dealing with stress, chronic pain, anxiety, sleep issues, and other health conditions. It emphasizes a non-clinical, educational framework focused on building mind-body connections and personal resilience.
