Mindfulness Training for People with Dementia and Their Caregivers

Mindfulness training is a body-mind intervention that has shown to improve psychological well-being in a variety of mental health conditions. Mindfulness, a nonjudgmental attention to one’s experience in the present moment, is a skill that can be developed with a standard 8-week training. Research has shown preliminary, but promising, results for mindfulness-based interventions to benefit people with dementia and caregivers.
