mPEAK

mPEAK — mPEAK Coaching mindfulness for performance enhancement

mPEAK Overview | Centers for Integrative Health (ucsd.edu)

mPEAK (Mindfulness, Performance Enhancement, Awareness & Knowledge) is a mindfulness training program for anyone seeking to achieve personal and professional goals, as well as attain new levels of performance and success. This cutting-edge training program is built around the latest brain research related to peak performance, resilience, focus, and “flow”. The mPEAK program enhances the human capacity of mindfulness through established and empirically supported practices and exercises. Mindfulness is effective precisely because it is a way of being and relating to all aspects of life, rather than a specific technique or tool for a particular goal. As with physical training, this brain training program is based upon the understanding that optimal outcomes occur most often when participants continue to engage in the practices and exercises on a daily basis as a part of their training regimen. The foundation of this program is based on the highly respected and empirically-supported Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) program. Additionally, mPEAK incorporates elements of sports psychology, positive psychology and specific exercises formulated to correspond to recent neuroscientific findings and related research regarding optimal performance.

Mindfulness in Policing — Leading Health, Humanity & Performance (mindfulbadge.com)

Mindfulness skills practice cultivates and sustains health, humanity and human performance. Mindfulness shifts the conversation and the experience around occupational stress toward a Growth Mindset and greater self efficacy. Our training is both culturally competent and trauma competent. 

Training mindfulness is a preventive action that equips first responders to perform through occupational trauma with greater capacity for awareness (self and situational), cognitive performance, and humanity (compassion, empathy, non-judgement). These ingredients are critical as we make our way forward. 

Evidence-Based Approach

Mindfulness skills training gets results. Mindfulness in policing has been studied by academia in the United States for the last decade; with Pacific University, University of Wisconsin, and University of New Mexico leading the way. 

In part, we’ve seen improvements in sleep, pain management, compassion, and empathy, and  reductions in alcohol use, anger and aggression. We’ve also seen improvements in cortisol regulation and reductions in symptoms of post traumatic stress disorder.
