The General Hospital Corporation's Research Management Division, doing business as Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), received a $474,783 federal Project Grant (R56AT011869) from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Trans-NIH Research Support program (CFDA 93.310). The award supports the adaptation and pilot testing of a remote mind-body resiliency group intervention to promote resilience among English and Spanish-speaking parents of children with learning and attentional disabilities (LAD).

The project involves conducting focus groups to elicit feedback on the recruitment plan, intervention delivery, and cultural/linguistic modifications, integrating the focus group findings to develop adapted and translated treatments, and piloting the adapted English and Spanish versions of the mind-body resiliency intervention and a matched health education control program. The work is being conducted in partnership with the Federation for Children with Special Needs, a non-profit organization that is responsible for recruiting parents, providing expertise on working with this population, and advising on study implementation and dissemination. This preliminary work is expected to lead to a future full-scale randomized clinical trial to evaluate the interventions.
