Stress Prevention and Mindfulness: A Psychoeducational and Support Group for Teachers
Reiser, Jenson E.; Murphy, Susan L.; McCarthy, Christopher J.
Journal for Specialists in Group Work, v41 n2 p117-139 2016
A stress prevention and mindfulness (SPAM) group is described, which is a 6-week psychoeducational and support group for teachers. The group incorporated psychoeducation about stress and utilized elements of Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR). The group was implemented in a public charter school in the Southwest. Preliminary evaluation conducted with two elements (session ratings and pre- and post-measures of mindfulness, teacher perceptions of demands and resources in their classroom, and job satisfaction) was supportive of teachers' satisfaction with the group. Implications and future research directions are discussed.
