Scaling Well-Being for Educators During COVID-19

"The HMP was developed by Healthy Minds Innovations at the UW Center for Healthy Minds, and is based on decades of research on well-being. The program is delivered through a smartphone application and consists of didactic (learns) and experiential (practice) components. Practice components involve contemplative practices such as mindfulness, loving-kindness, and gratitude practices. Each practice allows participants to choose duration (between 5-30 minutes). In addition to sitting style practices common in other meditation apps/programs, the HMP also provides instruction in active practices. Active practices engage the same skills as sitting practice, but focus on strengthening skills during daily routines. Learn components provide psycho-educational content about the science of well-being. HMP learns and practices are based on a four pillar model of well-being skills consisting of Awareness, Connection, Insight, and Purpose."
