Social Engagement Coaching for Caregivers
Lead Researcher: Kathi Heffner
Taking care of a loved one who has dementia can become increasingly difficult. Over
time, people can experience more stress as they adjust to their progressing role as
caregiver.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of the ‘Social Engage’ coaching
program on dementia caregivers, and to determine if a computer-based planning tool
can further improve program effects.
The study will also examine how subjective social connectedness may relate to the
ways in which people respond to social cues.
The Social Engage program involves up to nine 30-minute virtual sessions (such as
via Zoom) conducted over 8-10 weeks. Sessions are flexible and individualized to help
you enhance your relationships and improve well-being while managing caregiving stress.
Participation also involves two in-person study visits, one before and one after completing
the Social Engage program. Visits are flexibly scheduled and parking is free.
Study visits involve answering some questions about yourself, including your mood
and stress, and what caregiving has been like for you. Visits also include some computer-based
tasks.
