Summary

This trial evaluates an intervention to improve wellbeing of STEM grad students from UW Madison over 4 years. Data collected for 2 years.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for STEM graduate students at the University of Wisconsin-Madison who are 18 or older and have little to no experience with mindfulness practices. It aims to help those feeling burnt out, depressed, or anxious.
What is being tested?
The study tests whether storytelling workshops and mindfulness practice can improve wellbeing among grad students. Participants will be observed over a period of up to two years within the four-year duration of the trial.
What are the potential side effects?
