Telephone Discussion Groups
Each telephone discussion group will meet 12 times during six months. The one-hour calls will be semi-structured conference calls with education, training in coping skills and cognitive restructuring, and support. A Participant Workbook will include comprehensive materials for all sessions and topics, other resources, and red flag resources - areas that may exacerbate problems, add a level of difficulty or distress, and/or indicate a need for referrals (e.g., unsafe behaviors, substance abuse, spouse abuse, PTSD, depression, traumatic brain injury).
Education Sessions
Education sessions: Participants will have 12 sessions (delivered using slides and telephone) that cover the same education content, without skills building or support, over six months. They will also receive the Participant Workbook.
Usual Care
Participants do not receive any services.
