The long-term goal of this project is to improve and sustain the health and wellness of both Healthcare Providers and First Responders to help mitigate and prevent the downstream consequences of chronic stress.
Specifically, we seek to expand and adapt a widely successful, evidence-based program Mindfulness in Motion to help target the unique needs of FRs in addition to HCPs. This will be done by getting stakeholder input through interviews with first responders, integrating interview findings into MIM program, and then delivering enhanced MIM program via the mobile app and gathering feedback.
This is a cross-collaborative effort with Dr. Klatt and her team in the Center for Integrative Health.
