Interventions

  • Mindfulness in Motion for First Responders — BEHAVIORAL
    Mindfulness in Motion (MIM) is an eight-week, evidence-based workplace intervention designed to provide participants with practical strategies to reduce stress and burnout, and improve resilience. Offered virtually, MIM was adapted to support first responders relative to their occupational stressors and unique work characteristics. A companion smartphone app supplemented the eight weekly synchronous sessions and offered content informed by first responders and experiential practices that were modeled by first responders.

Study Details

High levels of chronic and recurrent workplace stress can profoundly impact the physical, mental, and emotional health of first responders. A multi-modal evidence-based mindfulness intervention was delivered to cohorts of first responders to evaluate effects on perceived stress, resilience, work engagement, and musculoskeletal pain.
