Summary
This study tested whether a 12-session program combining yoga and support groups could reduce stress for caregivers of young adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Twenty caregivers participated, and researchers measured stress levels, cortisol, and how many sessions they attended. The goal was to see if this kind of program is feasible and helpful for this group.
