Informal caregivers, such as family members, provide the bulk of support to older adults with chronic conditions like Alzheimer’s disease or related dementia and often do so at considerable cost to themselves. In this regard, a large number of intervention programs have been designed to alleviate caregiver burden and distress. Join us for an overview of behavioral interventions designed to support informal caregivers, and learn about findings on the success of these programs. A special emphasis will be given to digital technology solutions, such as mobile applications and web-based platforms in terms of enhancing the caregiver’s ability to provide care and reduce caregiver burden and distress.
