Consented caregivers will receive coaching via face-to-face or via the phone. Each caregiver will participate in up to 10 coaching sessions. Each coaching session will last up to 90 minutes. Coaching sessions will be audiorecorded and transcribed verbatim. Outcomes of coaching on caregivers' self-identified goals will be assessed using the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure.
