Summary
This study tests an 8-week online program called STELLA-R that teaches dementia caregivers a simple ABC method to understand and respond to upsetting behaviors.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could give dementia caregivers a practical, self-guided tool to feel less burdened and more confident in managing difficult behaviors.
What could go wrong
This is a relatively small study testing feasibility and short-term effects. The program is self-directed, so results depend on how much participants engage, and it may not help everyone.
