This intervention aims to reduce social isolation and promote engagement in health promoting enrichment and activities, by embedding a community health worker-assisted forum in a community-driven mobile communications through a private, secure, and confidential platform supported by txtwire. The principal innovation is harnessing both the behavioral change utility of a mobile health application and the social support potential of an online social network the investigators can deliver more timely and dynamic reinforcement to caregivers and social support more in rhythm with the pace of community events and stressors.
