Resilient Together for Dementia (RT-D)

RT-D has been developed based on feedback from couples and dementia clinicians as well as prior successful dyadic interventions. RT-D was developed based on the Recovering Together (RT) dyadic intervention for acute neurological illnesses and is being adapted to address the needs of couples navigating new dementia diagnoses.

The MEUC condition was also developed based on the comparison trial in the Recovering Together dyadic intervention, and was adapted based on feedback from prior studies. The program is self-guided and provides educational information similar to the RT-D condition, but with no skills practice or weekly sessions with a therapist.
