Who is the study for?
The FOREST trial is for frontline violence prevention workers at READI Chicago who are over 18, speak and read English, and have internet access. There are no specific exclusion criteria, so all employees meeting the inclusion conditions can participate.
What is being tested?
FOREST is a program teaching ten positive emotion skills over nine months to improve mental health and coping among participants. It's integrated into regular meetings, wellness activities, and online modules within READI's Learning Management System.
What are the potential side effects?
