Are you an unpaid caregiver for someone living with dementia?

The Supporting Our Caregivers in ADRD Learning or SOCIAL program is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) funded research study that is being led by researchers at the Center for Aging and Serious Illness and the Center for Health Outcomes and Interdisciplinary Research here at Massachusetts General Hospital. 

We are looking for unpaid dementia caregivers to participate in a 6-week virtual educational support research study that can help them manage some of the daily challenges of caring for someone living with dementia. It is normal to experience difficulties when being a caregiver, but stress can cause a wide range of negative effects on caregivers physically and emotionally. This program can help you understand stress and the effects on you, provide strategies, and learn practical skills to support you and your loved one with dementia. 

You will be asked to complete 3 assessments: baseline (before the program), post-program (immediately after the program ends) and 3-months after the program ends. You may receive up to $120 for participating in this study: $20 after enrollment and completion of the baseline survey, $40 at completion of the intervention and completion of the post-intervention survey, and $60 for completion of the 3-month survey.
