A clinical and cost effectiveness RCT of iACT4CARERS

Overview

Volunteers Needed for Research Study on iACT4CARERS 

Are you currently supporting a family member living with dementia? Are you experiencing worries or distress and interested in receiving online support?

You may be eligible for a large trial testing if internet-delivered self-help Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for family carers of people with dementia (iACT4CARERS) is helpful in improving psychological well-being.

iACT4CARERS focuses on helping people to manage difficult or troubling thoughts and feelings, while still trying to do activities that really matter to them.

We can arrange an interpreter should you require one
