About the event
Medical experiences such as ICU stays can cause PTSD, and during the Covid-19 pandemic, ICU stays increased (Murray et al., 2020). Additionally, healthcare disparities create increased risk of chronic health conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, excess weight, asthma, and heart disease for racially minoritized populations compared to White counterparts (OHE, 2023). Mindfulness-based interventions hold promise when it comes to treating trauma reactions after medical events (Hall & Hall, 2017). That said, as Treleaven (2018) shows, trauma survivors may have unique and distressing reactions to meditation and mindfulness.

This program will provide direction on how to approach mindfulness intervention with clients after adverse medical experiences have occurred. The speakers will guide clinicians to attend to factors that may impact a person’s ability to engage in mindfulness practice, such as (a) psycho- physiological changes post-medical intervention, (b) psychological reactions to adverse medical experiences, and (c) sociocultural responsive practice surrounding mindfulness-based treatments.
