About this trial

The study aims to test a program combining cognitive behavioral therapy techniques, positive psychology techniques, mindfulness meditation and yoga, in order to improve resilience in patient with minor cognitive disorder.

This intervention will be compared to a control group, but also with a group testing another intervention (an intervention that does not improve resilience in the elderly, namely a "cognitive stimulation" intervention) in order to ensure that the effect potentially obtained is not due to the simple management of the participant.

The duration of the intervention will be 3 months, with an evaluation directly before and after the intervention.

In addition, in order to best evaluate the effectiveness of the interventions over time, two follow-up measurements will be proposed: a measurement one month after the intervention, then a final one three months after the intervention.
