Children April 22, 2021 Liliana Paulina Rojas-Torres, Yurena Alonso-Esteban, María Fernanda López-Ramón et al.
A brief 8-week mindfulness-based stress reduction and self-compassion training program reduced stress and anxiety and increased mindful attention awareness in twelve parents of children with autism spectrum disorder in Valencia, Spain. No significant changes were found in life satisfaction. The small number of participants prevents generalizing the results.
