Then, she moved to Canada and completed her Master’s in the medical science program at the University of Toronto. Her master’s project focused on designing an online intervention of mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (tele-mindfulness) for family caregivers of patients with dementia. Her project then was adapted to a provincial program available to all family caregivers across Ontario.
