The purpose of this pilot study is to test the efficacy, feasibility, and acceptability of a brief, online, mind-body wellness program to reduce stress and promote resilience in military caregivers.
The investigators are piloting a brief, online, mind-body program to reduce stress in military caregivers. Eligible participants are, 1) At least 18 years old 2) Serving as military caregivers and 3) have regular access to a smartphone or computer. The investigators have adapted the SMART-3RP into a brief podcast, which we plan to administer daily. Participants will be administered questionnaires at baseline, mid-program, and post-program to assess for symptoms of stress, anxiety, and depression. Participants will be compensated for completing all measures.
