Behavioral Activation for Depression

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Behavioral Activation for Depression

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Behavioral Activation (BA) is an effective treatment for depression, and its components may increase social connection. Generally, caregivers are with the older adult care recipient on a regular basis and may be able, with the correct training, to help enhance certain features of the Behavioral Activation treatment, even under pandemic restrictions on social contact. Therefore, we propose to (a) integrate \& (b) gather feasibility data for home-based Behavioral Activation + Caregiver
