Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of two community based interventions for parents of adults with intellectual or developmental disabilities (IDD) who are requesting services.

The two interventions will include:

1. Support and Information Intervention - provides parents with support and information about services for their sons and daughters
2. Mindfulness Intervention - empowers parents through teaching them mindfulness skills

We hypothesize that:

1. Parents in both types of interventions will report benefits (reductions in psychological distress) maintained at follow-up.
2. Parents in mindfulness intervention group will report improvements in mindful parenting, self compassion, positive gain, empowerment, and reduced burden. Parents in support and information intervention group will report improvements in empowerment, positive gain, and reduced burden.
3. Parents in mindfulness intervention group will show greater improvements by 3 months follow-up than parents in the support and information group.
