New training aims to ease the burden on dementia caregivers

This study tested a program called EnACT for family caregivers of people with dementia. The program uses group sessions where caregivers watch scenarios, practice responses, and reflect on their choices. The goal is to help caregivers feel more prepared and less stressed when dealing with difficult behaviors like agitation or depression. Thirty caregivers took part to see if the training was useful and improved their well-being.
