A multi-modal Stress Management and Resiliency Training (SMART) Program for clinicians led to significant improvements in well-being, burnout, perceived stress, stress coping, resilience, and self-compassion at two months, with moderate-to-large effects. These benefits were maintained at eight months, six months after program completion, with small-to-moderate effects. Greater use of stress-management techniques and more days of meditation practice for at least 10 minutes were linked to larger improvements in well-being.
