The study aims to test a program combining cognitive behavioral therapy techniques, positive psychology techniques, mindfulness meditation and yoga, in order to improve resilience in patient with minor cognitive disorder. This intervention will be compared to a control group, but also with a group testing another intervention (an intervention that does not improve resilience in the elderly, namely a "cognitive stimulation" intervention) in order to ensure that the effect potentially obtained is not due to the simple management of the participant. The duration of the intervention will be 3 months, with an evaluation directly before and after the intervention. In addition, in order to best evaluate the effectiveness of the interventions over time, two follow-up measurements will be proposed: a measurement one month after the intervention, then a final one three months after the intervention.

RECRUITINGImprovement of resilience of patients suffering from mild neurocognitive disorder (NCD) compared to a passive control group (without any intervention).
Comparison of scores at Resilience Scale for Older Adults (RSOA) between group control and mixed intervention mixed Questionnaire adapted for older adults to evaluate resilience. The RSOA questionnaire contains 33 questions which consists of four overarching factors and 11 facets. The Intrapersonal factor consists of Perseverance and Determination, Self-Efficacy and Independence, Purpose and Meaning, and Positive Perspective. The Interpersonal factor consists of Sense of Community, Family Support, and Friend/Neighbour Support. The Spiritual factor consists of Faith and Prayer, and the Experiential factor consists of Previous Adversity and Proactivity. Each question is measured using a 5-point Likert scale from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree) Higher scores indicate a higher resilience.
Time frame: Pre intervention
Improvement of resilience of patients suffering from mild neurocognitive disorder (NCD) compared to a passive control group (without any intervention).
Comparison of scores at Resilience Scale (RS) between group control and mixed intervention mixed The RS questionnaire contains 25 questions. The items in the resilience scale address different aspects of the ability to cope with difficulties and bounce back. For example, some statements concern the ability to find meaning in stressful situations, to remain hopeful for the future, or to feel supported by those around one. Each question is measured using a 5-point Likert scale from 1 (strongly disagree) to 7(strongly agree) Higher scores indicate a higher resilience

Improvement of resilience of patients suffering from mild neurocognitive disorder (NCD) compared to a passive control group (without any intervention).
Comparison of scores at Brief-COPE between group control and mixed intervention mixed The Brief-COPE is a self-report questionnaire designed to measure effective and ineffective ways to cope with a stressful life event. Coping" is defined broadly as an effort used to minimise distress associated with negative life experiences. The questionnaire contains 28 questions. Each question is measured using a 4-point Likert scale from 1 I haven't been doing this at all to 4= I've been doing this a lot Higher scores indicate a better coping.
Time frame: Pre intervention
Persistence of improvement in resilience over time
Comparison of scores at Resilience Scale for Older Adults (RSOA) at different time points The RSOA questionnaire contains 33 questions which consists of four overarching factors and 11 facets. The Intrapersonal factor consists of Perseverance and Determination, Self-Efficacy and Independence, Purpose and Meaning, and Positive Perspective. The Interpersonal factor consists of Sense of Community, Family Support, and Friend/Neighbour Support. The Spiritual factor consists of Faith and Prayer, and the Experiential factor consists of Previous Adversity and Proactivity. Each question is measured using a 5-point Likert scale from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree) Higher scores indicate a higher resilience.
