15 For Me - Employers and Companies
Organizations who implement 15 for Me program will receive an action plan with all necessary materials. Staff from any department can participate in the program. The program can be initiated in one of two ways. The organization can announce the availability of the program, and staff can initiate their participation if they choose. Alternatively, 15 for Me can be recommended during a supervisor-staff conversation. Research clearly demonstrates that an important factor in retention is how staff experience the support they receive from supervisors. We recommend that you consider implementing structured, supervisor-initiated check-in meetings with staff. One method that has received high marks is called the Art of the Supportive Check-in. We provide guidance for implementing this method below.
M5
The M5 is an effective screening tool for identifying signs of stress that may interfere with everyday functioning. Just as a thermometer measures body temperature, the M5 can take your “stress temperature.”
Exercise Sessions
This program encourages participants to actively engage in physical (cardio), cognitive (working memory), and breathing/ medication activities. The two primary modalities are cardio and cognitive. The participant finishes the brief cardio or cognitive session with a diaphragmatic breathing/meditation exercise. In other words, sessions are comprised of either cardio + breathing/meditation or cognitive + breathing/meditation.
Breathing and Meditation
Breathing and meditation techniques are used to lower blood pressure, boost mood, and promote relaxation. Focusing on diaphragmatic breathing and guided imagery to achieve a calm and stable state for 2-3 minutes each day can help to reduce stress levels. These relaxation exercises should be completed at the end of each session.
