Our work with incarcerated individuals in Indiana has been published in Healthcare, a peer-reviewed journal.

The study evaluated our Mind-Body Medicine Training Program with 38 incarcerated men and women. Participants learned techniques like soft-belly breathing, meditation, guided imagery, and mindful eating to address their own trauma and stress. Then they learned how to teach these skills to their peers.

The results were remarkable. Participants showed significant improvements in resilience, depression, anxiety, stress, coping ability, optimism, and sense of purpose in life. All of these improvements were maintained at a 6-month follow-up.

But here's what the paper can't fully capture: the incarcerated individuals now leading Mind-Body Skills Groups are doing extraordinary work. Some of our most experienced faculty, including our Founder and CEO James S. Gordon, MD, have observed their facilitation firsthand and noted that many demonstrate skills comparable to trained professionals, despite some not having completed high school.

Demand to participate in their groups continues to grow. This is what's possible when we invest in training people to heal themselves and their communities.
