Experimental Treatment

Group I: Self-Care Sampler for Family Care PartnersExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

The 6-week Self-Care Sampler for Family Caregivers program was created to provide a variety of evidence-based self-care practices that improve the mental and physical health of caregivers by relieving stress. Sessions will take place once a week for 90 minutes, each starting with a centering exercise and focusing on a new form of self-care. The first 30 minutes will be used for a support group and the last 60 minutes will be for a self-care practice. Self-care practices that will be offered throughout the 6 weeks include mindfulness, mindful drawing, exercise, and health prevention and promotion.
