Summary

Detailed description

This is a pilot study of the feasibility and potential impact of a Mindfulness-Based Music and Songwriting program (delivered via telehealth) on stress and well-being in parents/caregivers of children with intellectual or developmental disabilities. Participants are randomized to participate in the mindfulness program or a business-as-usual control group. During mindfulness sessions, parents/caregivers are supported by a therapist to learn and apply mindfulness practices through music-based meditations and songwriting. Participants write two songs during the program. Parents complete surveys throughout the program.
