A collaboration with the local government of Valenzuela City, FriendlyCare Foundation, Inc., together with the Centre for Mindfulness Studies in Toronto, Canada, and psychologists from the Ateneo de Manila University, developed and tested a mindfulness-based intervention to promote the resilience and well-being of the city’s frontline workers. This is a training program that increases the resilience of high-risk groups which has broad applicability, suitably modified, as a preventive approach to dealing with the overall mental health burden in the general population, caused mostly by depression and anxiety disorders strongly associated with stress exposure.
