"AdoptMindful2Care" is a group psychological intervention program for all parents with at least one adopted child, between the ages of 2 and 17.
It consists of eight weekly sessions, each lasting 90 minutes, and its main objective is to reduce the stress levels experienced by parents in their roles as mothers/fathers, thus contributing to the quality of the parent-child relationship and the well-being and healthy development of the child/adolescent. The program sessions are in-person, and groups have already been held in Coimbra and Lisbon. In the coming months, the program will also be implemented in Aveiro and Oporto. In Coimbra, the groups took place at UpC3. The project will soon be implemented again in Coimbra, at our facilities.
This program is being developed based on the results of the Mindful Families project (a larger project of which this one is part), which sought to understand the experiences, needs, and preferences for post-adoption support of Portuguese adoptive parents.
In this study, we aim to assess the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary effectiveness of AdoptMindful2Care.
