Nurturing compassion in schools: A randomized controlled trial of the effectiveness of a Compassionate Mind Training program for teachers
Overview
This randomized controlled trial evaluates an 8-week Compassionate Mind Training program for teachers, assessing its impact on psychological and physiological wellbeing among 156 public school staff. The study reports that participants in the intervention group experienced improvements in self-compassion, reduced anxiety and depression, and increased heart rate variability compared to a waitlist control group. While the authors encourage broader implementation due to low cost and sustained effects, the resource primarily presents empirical data on the program's feasibility and outcomes.
