Mindful Response to Adversity: A Brief Stress Resilience Training

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Loneliness, Depression

In brief

The investigators will conduct an intervention study with the aim of improving stress resilience and mental health outcomes in at-risk freshman students. Participants will attend a group training session, led by a professional instructor, about responding to adversity, which will include a description of the skills, a writing and sharing activity focused on the proposed approach, and a practice session. Following the training, participants will be instructed to practice the skills that the participants just learned during a group version of a standard stress-induction task called the Trier Social Stress Task (the TSST-G).
