Learning Skills Together Family Caregiver Complex Intervention
This trial tests a 6-week online program called Learning Skills Together, designed to help family caregivers of people with Alzheimer's or related dementias handle complex care tasks with more confidence. The goal is to see whether the program reduces caregiver depression and stress around managing behavioral symptoms. It is a Phase NA trial, meaning it is evaluating real-world effectiveness rather than testing a drug or device.
