GETCare - Caregiver Program

Overview

Many individuals after a stroke rely on a family caregiver- often a partner or spouse - for long term support. To better support these partner caregivers, we have created a 5-week online education and training series. This training series focuses on basic stroke education, self-care, pyschosocial education, problem-solving, goal setting, and other skills training. This program is fully online.

We are currently recruiting participants for this study. If you are interested, please contact us.  

Eligibility

  • Must be 18 years or older
  • Must be a primary caregiver of someone who has had a stroke (individual with the stroke must be home or expected to return home within 1 month).​
  • Caregiver must have access to a tablet/mobile device OR telephone.
