Mind-Body Medicine Success!

Sarah Flick, MD Psychiatrist Sarah Flick, MD, completed the Center’s Mind-Body Medicine Professional Training Program in October of 2004. Less than a year later, hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans and the Gulf Coast, and Sarah was asked to help coordinate and provide direct mental health services to Katrina evacuees at large public shelters in Texas housing as many as 20,000 people.

Sarah used mind-body skills with individuals to positive effect, including breathing, relaxation, imagery, and movement, while simultaneously taking care of their immediate medication needs. She also believes professional training in mind-body medicine allowed her to be a more effective and encouraging leader for fellow volunteer clinicians.

“The Center’s Mind-Body Medicine Professional Training made a huge difference in my ability to be present in the immediate moment to the evacuees and their challenges. I was able to respond to patients in a new and more human context because of the training and personal practice of the skills.”
