Family caregivers of people with dementia are invited to participate in the coach-guided videoconferencing acceptance and commitment therapy study
We are conducting a research project to evaluate if coach-guided videoconferencing acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) is effective for improving psychological health in family caregivers of people with dementia.

This study will involve completion of questionnaires three times and 10 weekly videoconferencing sessions by the ACT coach if you are assigned to the ACT group. Participants will be compensation at study completion (up to $150 as the ACT group). For questions and more information, contact Jessica Hawkins at jshawkins@uabmc.edu or 205-975-2882.
