Telehealth Assessment and Skill-Building Intervention for Stroke Caregivers (TASK III)

Running, not enrolling · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Family Caregivers, Stroke

In brief

Caring for a family member after a stroke can be very difficult and worsen the physical and mental health of untrained caregivers. The TASK III intervention is a unique, comprehensive caregiver intervention program that enables caregivers to develop the necessary skills to manage care for the survivor, while also taking care of their own health.
