Mindfulness in the emergency management sector

摘要

The data available and research undertaken clearly show that agencies within the emergency management sector would benefit from implementing a programme that has evidence of increasing resilience, as well as cognitive performance, for its people. Mindfulness training is likely to be seen more and more within organisations due to the current and ongoing research and studies that have identified the benefits of programmes such as this. It must be noted, however, that mindfulness is not a silver bullet in resolving all the issues of mental health and cognitive performance, and results depend largely on the type and length of training, and the commitment level of the participants. Mindfulness programmes see best results when they sit alongside other wellbeing, performance and leadership programmes.
