Product Description:

The purpose of this manuscript was to describe how aging caregivers of adults with I/DD benefited by participating in the MI-OCEAN family support program. The MI-OCEAN intervention was tailored to the caregiving needs of individual families using the FQOL framework. All of the health and well-being variables examined showed improvement with reductions in both caregiver burden and stress reaching statistical significance.
