Summary
This study tests whether a smartphone app called AIM+ can help juvenile justice officers and other professionals who work with youth in the legal system manage chronic stress, anxiety, and burnout. Over 30 days, participants use the app for short guided meditations and videos. The goal is to see if the app is practical and well-liked, not yet to prove it works.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a simple, low-cost way for professionals in high-stress jobs to reduce anxiety and burnout using their smartphone.
What could go wrong
This is a small feasibility trial with only 57 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The app requires daily use, and benefits may be modest or short-lived.
