Summary
This study tests a program called enCompass Humana, which provides coaching and resources to unpaid caregivers of adults with both cancer and diabetes. The goal is to see if the program is practical and helpful for caregivers, improving their coping skills and reducing loneliness. About 162 caregivers will take part, receiving up to eight coaching sessions and access to an online tool.
