Description
Manju Ramakrishnan and co-authors report a small pilot study from 2025 on a stress skills workshop for older adults with memory loss. The workshop, given online for three hours, teaches the Community Resiliency Model, a set of body awareness skills meant to build calm. Fifty-four Black and White adults with mild memory problems in Atlanta took part.
Four weeks later, the group showed gains on scales for low mood and body symptoms of stress. Scores on a resilience scale also shifted, though the change was small. Twelve people did not finish the follow-up, so the results rest on those who stayed. As a pilot, the study mainly shows the workshop can be run online with this group and is worth a larger test.
