To train health care providers to practice mind body techniques on their own, the Benson-Henry Institute provides clinical trainings based upon our patient programs.
Customized Trainings
The Center for Training was established for health care practitioners who want to learn about the ground-breaking mind body programs developed by the expert staff of the Benson-Henry Institute for Mind Body Medicine.
Training is offered to either individual practitioners or groups from clinical practices, hospitals and health care systems. The format varies from one- to two-day trainings to long-term relationships.
A hallmark of our center is flexibility. All attendees complete a needs assessment questionnaire prior to their training. Program content, duration, and location are then determined to provide a “custom fit”.
The Center for Training programs combine didactic presentations, case histories, skill development exercises, and small group interactions.
Trainings are offered in the following areas:
- Cardiac Wellness (hypertension & heart disease)
- Cancer
- Chronic pain/CFS/Fibromyalgia
- Relaxation Response Resiliency Program
- Infertility
- Menopause
- Weight Management
- Stress Management for Students
Formats range from a one-day consultation, to trainings of one to five days, to a multiyear affiliate relationship.
The Center for Training programs combine didactic presentations, case histories, skill development exercises, and small group interactions.
The trainings prepare participants to teach the following:
- Elicitation of the relaxation response
- Appropriate nutrition management
- Cognitive/behavioral strategies
Participants will receive an extensive instructor’s manual with essential, detailed information on the Benson-Henry clinical practice.
Trainings are conducted by a multi-disciplinary team that includes physicians, psychologists, advanced practice nurses, exercise physiologists, and registered dietitians.
Programs are offered on a scheduled and/or customized basis. Individuals or teams of professionals from a single health care facility can arrange a training at mutually convenient times, dates, and locations.
