Well-being Skills for Reentry

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a mindfulness skills training program has mental health benefits for people returning to the community following incarceration. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does mindfulness skills training improve symptoms of anxiety and depression? * Do participants find this mindfulness program to be acceptable and feasible to participate in? Researchers will compare outcomes for participants in the mindfulness training program to those in a waitlist control group who will receive the mindfulness program after the end of the study. Participants will: * Complete an initial intake visit, consisting of an interview and questionnaires * Randomly be assigned to a mindfulness group or a waitlist control group * Participate in weekly mindfulness classes for 6 weeks (mindfulness group only) * Complete a set of questionnaires after the conclusion of the mindfulness classes * Complete a set of questionnaires and an interview 2 months after the conclusion of the mindfulness classes
