Benefits of Breath-Body-Mind™ have been shown in health care practitioners, individuals with psychiatric and medical conditions, at-risk children, veterans, active-duty military, research studies, and survivors of disasters.
Dr Brown and Dr Gerbarg have provided BREATH-BODY-MIND™ programs for the relief of psychological and physical symptoms related to the 2001 World Trade Center attack for the past 15 years. Thousands of people have benefited, including First Responders, healthcare providers, tower escapees, area residents, volunteers, Ground Zero workers, and families. Their programs have also been highly beneficial for survivors of the Southeast Asian Tsunami (2004), the Gulf Horizon oil spill, and survivors of war, human trafficking, slavery, genocide and abuse in South Sudan, Uganda, Rwanda, Nigeria (the Chibok girls who survived captivity by the Boko Haram), Middle East refugees in Berlin, Rohingya refugee children in Bangladesh, and other refugee populations including crisis and relief in Ukraine.
