Mindfulness-based psychotherapy approaches for first responders: from research to clinical practice
Abstract
First responders are psychosocially burdened with work-related stressors that occur frequently during required duties. Related mental health difficulties, such as direct and vicarious trauma, depression, and interpersonal problems often affect first responders' ability to perform effectively, and their personal lives may be disrupted. Mindfulness-based interventions have been shown to directly promote first responders' mental and physical health while providing increased resilience when facing work-related stressors. This article summarizes mindfulness-based benefits and empirical research related to first responders, using law enforcement officers as one specific example. Two specific mindfulness-based psychotherapies are introduced, as are generalizable mindfulness techniques useful for first responders. Psychotherapists can use these empirically supported treatment approaches to help first responders understand and incorporate awareness-based, nonjudgmental, and present-centered mindfulness techniques during critical incidents and while off duty as resilience-building mechanisms.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
