Fig. 1: One example of a transdiagnostic preventive behavioral intervention that targets several resilience-associated capacities.
From: Transdiagnostic prevention in youth mental health, Part II: interventions
Resilience Training (RT) consists of four 90-minute group sessions that teach young people mindfulness, self-compassion and mentalization skills. In a waitlist-controlled RCT, college students with either subclinical psychotic symptoms or symptoms of depression were randomized to either the active intervention (Resilience Training, RT, n = 54) or a waitlist control condition (No RT, n = 53). Significantly larger increases in resilience-related capacities, such as mindfulness, self-compassion, positive affect and overall resilience (measured using validated self-report scales) were observed in the RT compared to the waitlist condition. In addition, these improvements were associated with the significantly greater decreases in symptoms of psychopathology (depression, anxiety and psychotic experiences), and loneliness observed in the RT compared to the waitlist control condition. See [55, 56] for additional details.
