About
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a mindfulness skills training program has mental health benefits for people returning to the community following incarceration. The main questions it aims to answer are:
- Does mindfulness skills training improve symptoms of anxiety and depression?
- Do participants find this mindfulness program to be acceptable and feasible to participate in?
Researchers will compare outcomes for participants in the mindfulness training program to those in a waitlist control group who will receive the mindfulness program after the end of the study.
Participants will:
- Complete an initial intake visit, consisting of an interview and questionnaires
- Randomly be assigned to a mindfulness group or a waitlist control group
- Participate in weekly mindfulness classes for 6 weeks (mindfulness group only)
- Complete a set of questionnaires after the conclusion of the mindfulness classes
- Complete a set of questionnaires and an interview 2 months after the conclusion of the mindfulness classes
