Brief Summary:
The goal of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a mind-body medicine training program on parole services staff. The main questions it aims to answer are:
* Will participation in the training increase resilience; empathy; the belief that one can cope with difficult situations; and decrease symptoms of depression, stress, anxiety, and burnout?
* What is the personal and professional impact of the training program?
Sixty staff members of the Indiana Department of Correction Parole Services Division will do the following:
* Attend an initial 4-day mind-body medicine training. Mind-body techniques taught in the training include: meditation; a breathing exercise; biofeedback; guided imagery; expressing oneself through drawings and writing; movement to reduce stress; and family trees to explore family dynamics.
* Attend a 2-day practicum. The 2-day practicum will teach staff the ways in which they can share the skills they have learned one-on-one with parolees and families of parolees.
* Attend 4 biweekly sessions of 2-hour group consultation sessions. The consultations will support the use of the mind-body skills with the parolees.
Participants will also do the following:
* Fill out standardized questionnaires online before and after the training program in order to measure changes in resilience; empathy; the belief that one can cope with difficult situations; and symptoms of depression, stress, anxiety, and burnout.
* Fill out an additional online questionnaire three months after the consultation sessions to determine how trainees are using the mind-body skills in their work.
* Participate in an online group interview to determine how trainees are using the skills and how the training has affected them personally and professionally.
