Mindfulness-Based Dementia Caregiving

Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) is a standardized program that is both psychoeducation and skills-based, which uses mindfulness meditation practices to help people better cope with their emotions. This study uses a version of MBSR designed specifically for care partners of people living with dementia (PLWD) called Mindfulness Based Dementia Caregiving. Mindfulness Based Dementia Caregiving (MBDC) is a program with 8 weekly 2 hour sessions (plus one extended practice 4 hour retreat) including both formal and informal mindfulness practices, role play, and lectures combined with some dementia-specific education. Participants learn how to incorporate mindfulness practices into day-to-day life to help cope with the challenges and stresses of dementia care.
