MINDSTRONG: A Program to Build Mental Resilience for Undergraduate Nursing Students

MINDSTRONG, an evidence-based cognitive behavioral program focused on resiliency, prepares students to cope with stressors and adopt healthy lifestyles. Dr. Jacqueline Hoying describes the MINDSTRONG program and findings from her study on outcomes in undergraduate nursing students who completed the program (learn more in her article).
