Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction Program

INFORMED CONSENT AGREEMENT

The risks, benefits and possible side effects of the Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction Program will be explained to me at the orientation meeting. This includes skill training in meditation methods as well as gentle stretching (yoga) exercises. I understand that if for any reason I am unable to, or think it unwise to engage in these techniques and exercises either during the weekly sessions or at home, I am under no obligation to engage in these techniques nor will I hold Irena Danys nor Rossana Magalhaes liable for any injury incurred from these exercises.

Furthermore, I understand that I am expected to attend each of the eight (8) weekly sessions, the daylong session and to practice the home assignments for
50-60 minutes per day during the duration of the training program.
