Evaluation of the Mindfulness-Based Wellbeing Enhancement Program: Effects on Wellbeing Outcomes

Abstract

The 8-week Mindfulness-Based Wellbeing Enhancement (MBWE) program was designed to enhance mental wellbeing across diverse populations. This evaluation report presents findings from two studies assessing the program’s effectiveness. In Study 1, pre- and post-program assessments using the Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire (FFMQ) revealed significant improvements across all facets of mindfulness, demonstrating the program's efficacy in cultivating mindfulness among participants. Study 2 examined human flourishing outcomes through self-reported data collected at the program's conclusion, with participants consistently reporting enhanced mental wellbeing across multiple dimensions. Although the absence of control groups in both studies limits the ability to definitively attribute these outcomes to the MBWE program, the overall findings indicate that the MBWE program effectively promotes mindfulness and supports broader mental wellbeing.
