Oxford Mindfulness Centre
The Oxford Mindfulness Centre was founded in 2007 to realise the potential of mindfulness-based approaches in mental and physical health and to promote the well-being of people in their world of work, home and family life. Its aim is to be an international centre of excellence that can also meet local need, and to extend our understanding of the relevance of mindfulness through research, training and providing classes for NHS patients. With independent charitable status, it is a centre within the University’s Department of Psychiatry, and works closely with the Oxford and Buckinghamshire Mental Healthcare NHS Trust.
