Parenting a child with down syndrome? new study tests resilience training to ease burden
NCT ID NCT07306923
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a resilience training program can help parents of young children with Down syndrome feel more accepting and less burdened. About 50 parents will be randomly assigned to either the training or usual care. Researchers will measure changes in acceptance, rejection, and caregiver burden before, right after, and one month after the program.
