Mind-Body Approaches to Promoting Emotional Well-Being

Sunday, May 28, 2023 · Washington, DC

Oral · Clinical Science

Emotional well-being (EWB) is a key component of psychological health. Emphasizing holistic wellbeing, mind-body interventions (MBIs) have proven effective in reducing adverse mental health states and may be uniquely well-positioned to also promote EWB. In this symposium, results of four clinical trials of MBIs demonstrate their potential for facilitating EWB.
