Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Mindfulness-based interventionExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Participants will take part in an adapted and abbreviated version of the traditional eight-week MBCT protocol, conducted virtually via Zoom. Participants will meet for five, weekly, two-hour sessions. The group size will be larger than traditional MBCT groups (i.e. 16-20 participants rather than 12 participants).
Group II: WaitlistActive Control1 Intervention
Participants will be placed in a group with no treatment interventions for the duration of five weeks. Once these five weeks are complete, these participants will be placed in the next mindfulness clinic session to receive treatment. This does not the typical wait-list time for clinical services, which currently exceeds eight weeks
