At that time, he had more than 20 years of personal meditation experience and, with the support of the VA psychology supervisory staff, started a Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy informed group in a day treatment program treating Veterans with mood disorders. By 2011, Greg, now a member of the teaching faculty, was leading a weekly Mindfulness in Recovery program popular with both Veterans and trainees in psychology, psychiatry, social work, addiction therapy and nursing. He created one of the first Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) programs for Veterans within the VA system.
