 Inner Resources for Veterans IRV meditation intervention is based on Inner Resources for Stress, an intervention which utilizes mindfulness, techniques that encourage non-judgmental attention to oneself in the present moment. The Inner Resources protocol targets PTSD and has been associated with reduced PTSD and anxiety symptoms, reduced number of depressive symptoms, and depression remissions at a 9-month follow-up, as well as increased perceived self-efficacy. Pilot results of older combat Veterans with PTSD indicated that Inner Resources is a safe, feasible, and acceptable intervention. In a previous study with IRV in veterans at the Michael E. DeBakey VA, the control condition provided education on the symptoms and effects of PTSD. For example, subjects learned to recognize the circumstances that triggered their symptoms, how to identify and participate in healthy activities, and how to monitor their sleep.
