MBSR: Mindfulness Program A novel and culturally-adapted version of the well-validated mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) course will be used for the intervention. The adapted program curriculum embeds core MBSR principles and practices within a culturally responsive didactic framework developed directly from community focus-group feedback. The course will be delivered via a group meeting across 8 weeks, with weekly classes held at a local community center. All classes will be held in hybrid format, with most participants attending in person, but with a live-stream option offered via Zoom.
