Knowledge and Interpersonal Skills to Develop Enhanced Relationships (KINDER)

KINDER is an 8-week intervention that consists of three facilitated group discussion sessions conducted over Zoom with a small group of caregivers, in addition to self-paced lessons delivered using a printed or PDF workbook, depending on participant preference. Throughout KINDER, caregivers reflect on their relationship, including how their behavior toward the care recipient may need to change considering new vulnerabilities with dementia, and how to communicate about topics that often contribute to conflict, such as balancing safety and independence (e.g., driving).

Caregivers in the control arm will receive a workbook that covers 8 weeks of content focused on healthy living (e.g., nutrition).
