This trial is testing whether social workers can successfully teach mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT)—a technique that combines mindfulness meditation with cognitive therapy—to help older adults manage depression. The study will also explore whether having peer supporters (other participants who have gone through the program) present during the training makes it more effective.
Depression is common in older adults, but traditional therapy can be hard to access. This trial tests whether social workers can deliver this treatment in a way that is easier to scale up and more affordable, and whether peer support improves the results.

If you are accepted, you will be randomly assigned to one of three groups: one that receives mindfulness training from a social worker with peer supporters present, one that receives mindfulness training from a social worker without peer supporters, or a control group that receives usual care at community centers. The study involves attending training sessions and completing assessments to measure changes in your depression symptoms and mindfulness skills.
