This study is looking at ways to help informal caregivers of people with dementia who are experiencing mental health challenges, grief, or stress. It's testing two types of individual therapy: Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy and Behavior Activation. Both therapies last 12 to 16 weeks. The goal is to see if these therapies can reduce pre-death grief, burden, and stress in caregivers. You might be able to join if you are an informal caregiver (like a spouse, child, or close friend) of someone with dementia, are between 18 and 89 years old, speak English, and have a mental health diagnosis. The study will measure success by looking at changes in a pre-death grief scale. The current status of this study is unclear, and it plans to enroll 60 participants.
