The Balance Study: Balancing Life and Reducing Stress for those providing Elder Care

If you are providing care for a family member with dementia and are experiencing significant stress related to caregiving, you might be interested in the Balance Study.

The study will examine two different approaches to help manage stress and maintain a healthy life balance: Community Caregiver Education and Support, in which you learn about a variety of important issues related to elder care and receive social and emotional support; and Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction, which demonstrates mindfulness meditation techniques and simple yoga exercises.

To participate in this study or for more information, contact Dana McGree at 952-967-5031 or Dana.A.McGree@HealthPartners.com. To see the study flyer, click here.

The Center for Spirituality & Healing's Mary Jo Kreitzer and Robin Whitebird from HealthPartners Research Foundation are Principal Investigators on this research study. The study is funded by a grant from the National Institutes of Health - National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine.
