Abstract
We examined the acceptability and feasibility of Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) to address posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in homeless women (N=28) with substance use disorder. A “theater style approach” presented MBSR activities; then acceptability and feasibility were assessed. Trauma exposure and PTSD were high; MBSR demonstrated high acceptability and feasibility.
