RESPECT Study – Restorative Practice for Black Caregivers’ Stress
About the Study:
Caring for someone living with a dementia can be a physically and mentally stressful experience. Despite facing numerous stressors, Black care partners show numerous strengths as care partners. There is an urgent need to support Black care partners by amplifying their strengths while addressing the stressors they face. We are conducting a randomized pilot study to test a novel study of breathwork as a simple, cost-effective, fast-acting, brief (5-minutes), accessible, and culturally-responsive approach for reducing Black caregiver stress that is done at home. This project is sponsored by the Virginia Center on Aging.
