Materials and Methods This study reports on the development and pilot of a mindfulness-based group for young people with learning disabilities and their carers. Results Group participants reported that the group was helpful. Reports from carers show that the young people continued to use mindfulness-based practices in their daily lives even after the completion of the group.
