Brief summary

This single-arm pilot study tests the feasibility of integrating the Stress Management and Resiliency Training Relaxation Response Resiliency Program (SMART-3RP), a mind-body intervention, into senior living residential communities. The investigators hypothesize that the SMART-3RP intervention will be feasible for senior living community residents to attend.

Interventions

BEHAVIORALSMART-3RP Group Intervention

Nine 1.5 hour group sessions focusing on developing: 1. an understanding of stress physiology and the physiology of the relaxation response; 2. a regular practice of eliciting the relaxation response; and 3. cognitive behavioral and positive psychology/resilience skills. Participants receive a copy of the SMART-3RP session manual and audio recorded guided meditations for independent relaxation practice. Participants are encouraged to practice eliciting the relaxation response daily throughout the study, using the audio recordings or other mind body techniques. Participants will use a practice log to track their practice.
