Abstract
Teenage siblings of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are at risk of worse mental health outcomes than their peers, yet there have been few interventions focused on improving their psychosocial wellbeing. This study explored the acceptability of an 8-session virtual group mind-body resiliency intervention for teen siblings of children with ASD. We used mixed methods to assess quantitative and qualitative survey results. Participants reported that the intervention had the right amount of sessions (88%), structure (74%), and duration (89%). Most participants felt comfortable during sessions (74%), found it helpful to learn mind-body exercises (74%), and that the intervention helped in coping with stress (71%). Though participants were satisfied with the opportunity to meet peers, they desired more social connection. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
