Participants assigned to the HMP group will be asked to complete a minimum of 10 minutes per day of meditation for 12 weeks. For the first four weeks, participants will listen to prescribed meditations that will teach them the foundations of mindfulness. During weeks 5-12, participants will have full access to the HMP meditation library.

BEHAVIORAL

Wellness App (WA)

Participants in the WA group will listen to a minimum of 10 minutes per day of a caregiver specific educational podcast (including topics such as "Caring for the Caregiver" or "Folate and Preventing Alzheimer's") delivered via a mobile app for the 12 weeks.
