Summary
This study tests a programme called Mentis Plus+ Caregivers, designed to improve mental health for adults who care for a family member with dementia. The programme includes six modules that teach skills like self-control, problem-solving, and building relationships. Researchers will compare caregivers who take the programme with those who receive usual care, measuring changes in positive mental health, depression, anxiety, stress, and caregiver burden.
