Mindfulness is an awareness of the moment which gives you a sense of control and can help you manage symptoms such as pain, fatigue and sleep disturbance.
We hold a six-week course on mindfulness and host fortnightly refresher meetings for all those who have completed the course.
The next course dates are to be confirmed.
