Mind-Body Clinical Research Center
The Stony Brook Mind-Body Clinical Research Center (MB-CRC) has been at the forefront of integrating physical and mental health care since it was founded in 2015. Our goal is to improve the physical and mental health, and overall wellness of individuals and communities, by working closely with a team of primary care and health care providers.
What is Mind-Body Medicine?
Mind-body medicine is built on the foundation that thoughts, behaviors, emotions, biology and environmental influences can interact to positively or negatively affect one’s mental and physical health.
In fact, scientific research supports the mental-physical health link and indicates that when mental illness is present at the same time as a physical illness, overall wellness and quality of life suffers.
By identifying risk and resiliency factors for mental health, the experts at the Mind-Body Clinical Research Center help people to make changes early to prevent the development or worsening of mental illness, preserve physical health, promote resiliency and improve overall wellness.
Our Mission
The mission of the MB-CRC is to improve the mental and physical health of individuals and communities through providing integrative mental and physical health care, conducting basic and applied cutting-edge research, and training tomorrow’s clinical research leaders.
The MB-CRC fosters awareness, growth, and resiliency building in the process of mind-body healing and operates in an ethically and culturally sensitive manner.
The MBCRC carries out its mission through 3 core activities:
- Clinical Services rooted in empirically supported treatment approaches to provide healing to both mind and body.
- Research on underlying bio-psycho-social risk and resiliency factors at the intersection of mind-body and behavioral health problems, and the development, testing and refinement of targeted interventions.
- Training future clinical researchers on basic and applied clinical science, with a focus on inspiring scholars from underrepresented backgrounds.
