Description
Much confusion still exists when practitioners talk about mindfulness. How is it defined? What do interventions look like? And what changes occur inside clients? This poster presentation provides the initial workings of a single-case design study examining the daily changes that occur when stressed caregivers engage in a mindfulness intervention. As practitioners better understand this picture, they can start considering how mindfulness interventions with caregivers might also indirectly affect their struggling students.
