Abstract
This commentary on "Oman (2023) Mindfulness for Global Public Health: Critical Analysis and Agenda" provides a public health perspective on the utilization of mindfulness meditation for preventing childhood maltreatment, building resilience, and restoring health for adults with adverse childhood experiences. A multi-level multi-sectoral framework was proposed for using mindfulness-based interventions to prevent childhood maltreatment and enhance resilience. Emerging research and theoretical foundations are also reviewed for why and how mindfulness-based interventions can be particularly beneficial for childhood maltreatment survivors.
