Compassionate Mind Training for Teachers (CMT-T)
Sponsor: Universidade Federal de Sergipe
Summary
Literature has reported the emergence of various mental disorders in teachers at this level, including common mental disorders (CMDs) such as depression and anxiety, leading to increased job turnover and detrimental to the teaching-learning process. To prevent and promote mental health in this professional population, compassion-based interventions have proven effective, especially in situations of distress, by reducing fears of compassion and self-criticism, considered preventive factors for depressive and anxiety disorders. Given the growing evidence of the benefits of compassion for mental health, and the prevalence of common mental disorders in elementary school teachers, aggravated by the new coronavirus pandemic, this project aims to evaluate the effectiveness and feasibility of Compassionate Mind Training for Teachers (CMT-T) on the mental health of elementary school teachers in the public education system in the city of Aracaju.

Interventions
Compassionate Mind Training for Teachers (CMT-T)
In each module, in addition to the presentation of the theoretical constructs to be worked on, participants will be invited to perform experiential exercises, compassion and mindfulness practices, and work in small groups to share their experiences. Following this, an assembly will be held with the participants. The experimental group will be led by two members of the team: a doctoral psychologist and a master's student. They will facilitate the group, conduct the experiences and practices, present the content, and stimulate discussion in the plenary session. Everyone will strictly follow the CMT-T manual. The CMT-T team will inform participants that they will be available between modules should any participant have any questions or concerns about the session content.
