Caregiving, a global public health concern that impacts more than 1 billion individuals worldwide, is associated with negative physical and psychosocial health effects due to the demanding nature of the role. This presentation describes a novel pilot intervention program, “Listen, Breathe, Move” (LBM), which integrates music therapy and gentle movement/yoga. The single, virtually delivered session was piloted to investigate the feasibility and acceptability of the program among caregivers. This session will focus on describing the needs of caregivers, the development of the LBM program, the components and implementation of the program, and findings. Perspectives from the undergraduate music therapy research assistant will also be discussed briefly, with a focus on the student’s experience with an interdisciplinary undergraduate research experience.
