A tailored mindfulness-based intervention (MBI) called REMIND 2.0 was compared with relaxation training (RT) in a small pilot trial with 28 people who have mental illness. MBI participants showed significant improvements in personal recovery, mindfulness, self-compassion, resilience, depression, positive and negative moods, quality of life, and general health immediately after the program, and most gains were maintained one month later. RT participants initially improved on secondary outcomes but then declined at follow-up, except for anxiety and stress. Participants found the MBI acceptable and relevant to personal recovery. The tailored MBI appears to be a potentially effective and feasible approach for supporting recovery in this population.
