Group I: PARK NowExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

6-Week Self-Guided Program: PARK Positive Emotion Skills: The skills will be delivered over approximately 6 weeks, and individuals can participate from any device and location with internet access. A week will consist of 1-2 days of didactic material and 5-6 days of real-life skills practice and reporting. The maximum amount of time engaged in the PARK program for any participant is 5 hours over the 6-week period, plus completion of the REDCap surveys assessments (burnout, well-being, health behaviors). The intervention will focus on developing the following skills that will be supplemented by home practice: (1) positive events, capitalizing, gratitude; (2) mindfulness; (3) positive reappraisal; (4) personal strength and achievable goals; (5) and self-compassion. PARK is delivered through the BrightOutcome online platform.
