With the population aging, more people are living with neurodegenerative conditions, leading to an influx of informal family caregivers, who often experience negative health outcomes. Few caregiver interventions have successfully adopted a holistic, strengths-based approach to fostering resilience. This article examines existing literature on caregiver resilience factors, which include self-efficacy, flexibility, cultivating positive emotions, and drawing on spiritual and social supports. Despite how dance/movement therapy (DMT) has been shown to foster psychological and physiological benefits, it remains underexplored for caregivers. Therapeutic mechanisms of DMT are expounded for their innate correspondence to resilience factors, and a new comprehensive model of DMT for caregiver resilience is presented, with implications for future intervention design and measurement.

Background: The diagnosis of pediatric cancer is a major shock to family caregivers, and posttraumatic stress symptoms (PTSSs) emerge as the most prevalent adverse psychological outcomes. However, not all family caregivers have sufficient resilience to cope with these challenges; thus, supportive care interventions are necessary. These interventions, which include psychosocial support, education, and other forms of assistance, are designed to enhance the well-being of those affected by disease.

Addressing various dimensions of well-being can help improve oncology patients' symptoms and their overall quality of life (QOL); similar strategies can be used to support caregivers of oncology patients to improve not only QOL of the caregiver, but the patient. Beyond patient and caregiver support, interventions focusing on dimensions of well-being can improve the culture of wellness, practice efficiency, and enhance personal resilience among oncology providers to mitigate burnout. Herein, the authors discuss multiple evidence-based strategies to improve well-being of oncology patients, caregivers, and providers.
