Can mindfulness ease the mental strain of reentry?

This study is testing whether a 6-week mindfulness skills training program can help improve mental health for adults who have recently been released from jail or prison. Researchers want to see if the program reduces symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress, and if participants find it helpful and practical. They will compare the mental health of people who take the mindfulness classes right away to those who are on a waiting list and receive the training later.
