Summary

This study tests a telehealth program called TASK III for people caring for a family member after a stroke. The program includes a resource guide and eight weekly calls from a nurse to help caregivers build skills and manage their own health. Researchers will measure changes in caregivers' well-being and depressive symptoms over one year. The goal is to see if this support program can make caregiving less stressful.
