ORLANDO, Fla., May 6, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- In
recognition of Mental Health Awareness Month this May, eMindful,
the leading provider of live, virtual mindfulness programs, will
launch a campaign to help the global workforce develop targeted
mindfulness skills and take care of their mental well-being.
The campaign will challenge participants to take part in live,
expert-led online mindfulness sessions and on-demand episodes to
help build three out of the seven primary skill sets of
mindfulness: Focus, Awareness, and Attitudes of Mindfulness.
Participants will increase their proficiency in these skill sets
while earning badges and incentives along the way in May.
The skills are based on a new framework, The eMCC™, that was
validated by 60 international subject matter experts in
collaboration with eMindful and Vanderbilt
University Medical Center researchers, and published in the
peer-reviewed journal, Mindfulness.
"Among the thousands of studies proving mindfulness is an
effective solution for mental health, no one had developed a
comprehensive framework of the specific skills cultivated when you
practice mindfulness," said Zev
Suissa, Chief Innovation Officer, eMindful. "Mental Health
Awareness Month is a perfect time for the eMCC Challenge, which
leverages this new framework for the most innovative approach to
modern mindfulness."
"Traditionally, mindfulness and resilience interventions have
been applied generically across distinct behavioral health
conditions," said Ruth Q. Wolever,
PhD, Professor, Vanderbilt University
Medical Center, and Chief Science Officer, eMindful. "The
behavioral health sector needs to become more sophisticated. The
development and validation of the eMCC creates a standardized
system for more precise mindfulness-based interventions."
"Someone with major depression needs to acquire different skills
than someone with social anxiety does," Dr. Wolever said. "This
framework sets the stage for us to use tailored mindfulness
practices to treat specific, targeted skill deficits associated
with clinical conditions."
