Pilot Study to Gauge Acceptability of a Mindfulness-Based, Family-Focused Preventive Intervention

Researchers adapted the Strengthening Families Program: For Parents and Youth 10-14 (SFP) to include concepts and activities specific to mindfulness and mindful parenting (e.g., listening with full attention, emotional awareness of self and child). Self-reported and focus group data were utilized to asses acceptability and effects of this adapted program. This intervention was rated as acceptable and positively influenced family functioning and parents' well-being.
