Summary
This study tests a program called Compassionate Mind Training for Teachers (CMT-T) to see if it can reduce depression, anxiety, and self-criticism in elementary school teachers. Forty teachers from public schools in Aracaju, Brazil, will take part in group sessions that include mindfulness exercises, compassion practices, and group discussions. The goal is to find out if this approach is both feasible and effective for improving teacher mental health.
