The Davis Mindfulness Center is Opening April 2019 

Our new mindfulness website is currently under development

 
In 2014, after recognizing a growing trend of adults requesting services for anxiety and depression, Davis Behavioral Health (DBH) began offering Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), an evidence-based educational delivery of mindfulness to adults in the community to address this trend as part of its Prevention & Education programming. In Fall 2016, in response to parent requests and an elementary teacher request that mindful- ness be taught in schools, Davis Behavioral Health began piloting the Mindful Schools curriculum in an elementary school. After initial feedback was assessed and positive re- sults observed, additional schools were invited to participate. The Davis School District has now requested that mindfulness training be made available district-wide, in both ele- mentary and secondary schools as a universal, Tier 1 Prevention. DBH has also begun working with public charter schools in the county. In response to further requests from parents requesting additional education about mindfulness, DBH Prevention created a Parent Video Series (link to it) to accompany the elementary Mindful Schools lessons.
As the mindfulness-related prevention efforts in Davis County have grown, DBH has recognized the need for a dedicated space for the community to gather for evidenced- based classes, workshops on a variety of topics, and support groups. With deep gratitude to a generous private donor, we have been able to move forward with establishing the Da- vis Community Resilience Center. We envision this Center as a community-driven, com- munity-supported effort-a place to come to experience the support and nourishment of being in community.
