This study will examine the effects of two interventions, the Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) program and the Living Well program, on immune function, physical and emotional health, and well-being of older adults who care for a family member with dementia. MBSR is designed to teach skills for increasing relaxation and awareness, with special emphasis on movement, meditation, and breathing. The Living Well program includes group presentations and discussions on topics related to health and well-being in the context of dementia caregiving. Participants will be randomly assigned to either the MBSR program, the Living Well program, or a usual care group for eight weeks.
