Few studies have addressed impact of participation in wellness classes on caregivers or family members of individuals with disabilities. This important aspect of program evaluation is neglected. PURPOSE: To evaluate effects of the wellness program on family members of caregivers of participants. METHODS: Eight program participants and nine respective family members or caregivers were selected for interviews. Interviews were then transcribed and analyzed into codes, categories, and themes. RESULTS: Five themes emerged from interview data: benefit of class to self, positive feelings about participation, relationship dynamic, importance of classroom interaction, and burden of class. Zarit Burden Interview scores indicated moderate burden in sample of caregivers. CONCLUSION: This study demonstrated effect of a unique program on the overall wellness of participants with disabilities and their respective caregivers or family members. Caregivers or family members do acknowledge benefits of the program to themselves. However, the program does not reduce caregiver burden significantly.
