Summary

The goal of this study is to learn about how effective a Mind-Body Medicine Training Program is for prisoners. The main questions it aims to answer are:

1. Does the training program increase resilience?
2. Does the training program reduce depression, anxiety, and/or stress?
3. Does the training program increase optimism?
4. Does the training program increase prisoners' belief that they can have better coping skills?
5. Does the training program increase a sense of meaning in life?
6. Does the training program increase a sense of life purpose?

Participants will attend a 2-part mind-body medicine training program (4 days for each part) and will fill out questionnaires before the training, after the training and 6 months after the training. They will also participate in group interviews after the training and 6 months after the training.
