PRISM and CFN for PMD

Primary mitochondrial diseases (PMD) are a group of energy deficiency disorders that are typically progressive and range in onset and severity. Individuals with PMD experience a variety of clinical symptoms that not only affect their physical health but significantly impact their daily life.

The goal of this study is to find the best way to help adults with PMD deal with the stress of their condition, and to help them be better able to “bounce back,” or be resilient. In order to do this, we are going to test two interventions. The first is called Promoting Resilience in Stress Management (PRISM). The second is called clinical-focused narrative (CFN) intervention.

The study period will last for about one month and will consist of five online visits and a one-time online discussion group.

Parenting Intervention Study

CHOP PriCARE is a FREE, VIRTUAL workshop for caregivers of children 18 months - 6 years of age. Caregivers attend the workshop for 80 minutes once a week for 6 weeks. Workshops are offered mornings and evenings throughout the year. The goal of the workshop is to teach ways to interact with young children that improve their behavior and build a strong bond between caregiver and child. The PriCARE workshop is a research project with two groups of caregivers. One group attends the workshop, and one group does not attend. Caregivers in both groups are very important for this project. All caregivers will be interviewed and get paid for their participation. To learn how you can participate, call 267-318-1707 or email pricare@chop.edu.


Therapeutic Role Playing Games for Autistic Individuals

Research has shown that table top role playing games (RPGs) like Dungeons & Dragons can help autistic people, as the game allows people to practice social skills and interaction in a safe environment while having fun. The goal of this new research project is to determine how aware parents and providers are that games like Dungeons & Dragons can help and what their experience is like if child(ren) use such games.
