Mindfulness - which teaches people to focus on the present moment – can help us enjoy the world more and understand ourselves better. Mindfulness is known to be successful in helping people with mental and physical health problems, from stress, depression and anxiety to chronic pain, eating disorders and concentration. It can also boost our productivity at work, and give us a greater enjoyment of life.

South West London and St George's Mental Health NHS Trust look forward to welcoming you on the day!
