Summary

This study tests a new program called THRIVE designed to build psychological resilience in older adults (ages 60-85) who provide unpaid care to someone with daily living needs. The 8-week program includes group sessions, peer support, and an AI chatbot. Researchers want to see if it is feasible and acceptable to run in community centers, and whether it shows promise for improving resilience.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
a multicomponent resilience-building program called THRIVE, including psychoeducation, peer support, and an AI chatbot
What this could lead to
If successful, this program could offer a practical way to support the mental health of older caregivers in community settings.
What could go wrong
This is a small pilot study focused on feasibility, not effectiveness. The program may not show clear benefits or may be difficult to implement widely.
