Summary

This study tests whether Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), a type of talk therapy, can help reduce stress for caregivers of children with RASopathies (genetic conditions like Noonan syndrome or neurofibromatosis type 1). About 70 adult caregivers will participate fully online, using a smartphone app to watch weekly videos and attend coaching sessions. The goal is to see if ACT helps parents cope better with the challenges of caregiving.
