Results Are In From Inspiring Comfort Pilot Research Study

Results from self-report measures demonstrated a significant decrease in depression and loneliness symptoms in students from pre and post intervention, and a significant increase in compassion for others and self. According to the feedback survey from the program, 100% of students who participated in the program said that they would recommend this program to a peer.

“This program and study really speak to this reciprocal dynamic between compassion for others and compassion for self,” says Taylor Walls, M.A. and Montclair State University researcher, “It imparts in youth skills and strategies to increase their feelings of belonging.”
