TMH Memory Disorder Clinic – Enrolling Participants for Peace of Mind Study

TMH MDC is participating in a study being conducted jointly by the University of Florida (UF), Mayo Clinic, and Tallahassee Memorial Healthcare.

A support partner is required to complete the program with the participant.

Over the two weeks of the PEACEOFMND study training, participants will engage daily in individual memory compensation training as well as group supportive therapy. In addition, participants will be randomly assigned to 1 of 3 program components:
· Yoga

The person with MCI must:
· Be diagnosed with amnestic MCI or Mild Neurocognitive Disorder, as confirmed by study criteria
· Be at least 50 years of age

· Have a “care-partner” that is willing to participate in the full program (such as a spouse, child or a good friend)

The first session is tentatively scheduled for October 2017. Recruitment will be ongoing into 2018.
