For funders

Fund this work

We are raising to put evidence-based stress reduction in front of people who cannot currently reach it. Here is what we do, what it costs, and what your money buys.

Our record

What we have delivered

  • Content still needed:How many MBSR courses Im2 has run, over how many years(Jerry)

    Eight-week MBSR courses delivered live online, following the University of Massachusetts curriculum.

  • Twenty-four guided practices, recorded by five instructors.

    From one-minute pauses to forty-five-minute body scans, written and recorded in house and given away free.

  • Content still needed:Roughly how many volunteers contribute, and in what roles(Jerry)

    The organization runs on contributed time from instructors, clinicians and builders.

The method

The evidence behind MBSR

Research on MBSR is research on the method, not on our programs. Clinical studies of MBSR do not transfer to Im2 courses, and we do not claim they do.

  • Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction performed at least as well as escitalopram, a first-line anxiety medication, in a randomized clinical trial.

    Hoge EA, Bui E, Mete M, Dutton MA, Baker AW, Simon NM. JAMA Psychiatry, 2022.

  • A meta-analysis found MBSR associated with health benefits across a range of conditions.

    Grossman P, Niemann L, Schmidt S, Walach H. Journal of Psychosomatic Research, 2004.

  • Mindfulness-based interventions have an established evidence base in the management of chronic pain.

    Majeed MH, Ali AA, Sudak DM. Journal of Psychosomatic Research, 2017.

Grants are relationships, not forms. If you fund work in mental health, health equity or young adult wellbeing, we would rather have a conversation than send you a PDF.
