CareCoach

Summary: The aim of this study is to test the effects of using an online support package for caregivers called CareCoach. CareCoach is an online support package which focuses on helping caregivers develop knowledge, skills and confidence to manage and support the care they provide a person living with dementia. Caregivers using CareCoach are also supported and guided by a 'coach' (health, social care or dementia charity worker).

Who can take part: Do you support a family member or friend living with dementia? Are you looking to learn new skills and knowledge to cope well while caring with a person living with dementia? Participants need to be aged 18 or over, living in the UK, and currently providing care/support for a person living with dementia (who has been diagnosed in the last 5 years).

What it involves: Questions to check you are eligible to take part. If you are eligible, you will be asked to provide your contact information. Then we will ask you to agree (consent) to take part, and complete a questionnaire about yourself, your wellbeing, the care and support you give, and the person living with dementia who you care for. Participants are randomly allocated to either the CareCoach group OR usual care group. Both groups will be involved in the study for 6 months. You will need to have access to a device with a camera and microphone which connects to the internet, such as a laptop, tablet or smartphone.

How to get involved: If you have any questions about the study, please contact the research team using the details below (Mon-Fri, 9am-5pm).
