To evaluate the efficacy of a brief intensive intervention for persons with mild cognitive impairment assisted by family members or friends To equip persons with mild cognitive impairment with specific skills to prevent memory failures and improve the capacity of patients and families to cope with everyday memory difficulties
To evaluate the efficacy of a brief intensive intervention for persons with mild cognitive impairment assisted by family members or friends To equip persons with mild cognitive impairment with specific skills to prevent memory failures and improve the capacity of patients and families to cope with everyday memory difficulties

All participants will complete questionnaires about knowledge of memory techniques common memory and behaviour problems and emotional health at pre-intervention post-intervention and after a 3-month follow-up
Methods of Data Analysis
