- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Change from Baseline on Resilience using the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC) after the 8 day training and at 6 month follow-up Baseline, after the 8 day training, and at 6 month follow-up The CD-RISC is a validated, self-report instrument assessing resilience over the last month. The CD-RISC consists of 25 questions that are rated on a 5-point scale with higher scores representing greater resilience. Change = After the 8 day training score- Baseline score; Follow-up score - After the 8 day training score; and Follow-up Score - Baseline score
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Change from Baseline on Depression, Anxiety, and Stress using the Depression Anxiety and Stress Scale -21 (DASS-21) after the 8 day training and at 6 month follow-up Baseline, after the 8 day training, and at 6 month follow-up The DASS-21 is a validated, self-report instrument assessing the emotional states of depression, anxiety ans stress over the past week. The DASS-21 consists of 7 questions each for depression anxiety and stress are rated on a 4-point scale with higher scores representing higher levels of depression, anxiety, and stress. Change = After the 8 day training scores- Baseline scores; Follow-up scores - After the 8 day training scores; and Follow-up scores - Baseline scores
Change from Baseline on optimism using the Life Orientation Test - Revised (LOT-R) after the 8 day training and at 6 month follow-up Baseline, after the 8 day training, and 6 month follow-up The LOT-R is a validated, self-report instrument assessing optimism. The LOT-R consists of 10 questions that are rated on a 5-point scale. Four of the questions are "filler questions" and are not calculated in the total score. Higher scores represent greater levels of optimism. Change = After the 8 day training score- Baseline score; Follow-up score - After the 8 day training score; and Follow-up score - Baseline score.
Change from Baseline on coping - self efficacy using the Coping Self-Efficacy (CSE) Scale after the 8 day training and 6 month follow-up Baseline, after the 8 day training, at 6 month follow-up The CSE Scale is a validated, self-report instrument assessing coping self-efficacy.

Change = After the 8 day training score- Baseline score; Follow-up score - After the 8 day training score; and Follow-up score - Baseline score.
Change from Baseline on purpose in life using the Life Engagement Test (LET) after the 8 day training and 6 month follow-up. Baseline, after the 8 day training, and at 6 month follow-up The LET is a 6-item scale made up of items that are framed in half positive and half negative directions. These items are then rated using a 5-point scale that ranges from "1 = strongly disagree" to "5 = strongly agree". Higher scores represent a greater sense of life purpose. Change = After the 8 day training score- Baseline score; Follow-up score - After the 8 day training score; and Follow-up score - Baseline score.
Change from Baseline on meaning in life using the Meaning in Life Questionnaire (MLQ) after the 8 day training and 6 month follow-up Baseline, after the 8 day training, and at 6 month follow-up The MLQ is a validated, self-report instrument assessing meaning in life.
