Do you regularly care for a loved one who is in a vulnerable situation? Your experience is invaluable. Take part in this study conducted by the IA association, in partnership with the CoBTeK laboratory and students in the Master’s program in Integrative Clinical Psychology and Aging at Université Côte d’Azur.

This is the “Aidant TLC” study, a therapeutic education program designed to develop emotional, interpersonal, and stress management skills among family caregivers.
 

The program is structured around six different modules

  1. understanding and managing stress,
  2. strategies to counter depressive symptoms, whether in caregivers or their care recipients,
  3. resilience and well-being in the context of caregiving,
  4. self-care or the importance of meeting one’s own needs,
  5. emotion management,
  6. effects of social isolation.

What does the study involve?

It involves recruiting 75 participants, randomly assigned to three groups:
  • a control group,
  • a group with an in-person intervention,
  • a group with a remote intervention.
