Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
During this study, participants will be asked to complete two (2) 30- to 45-minute surveys asking about their demographic information, caregiving situations, and relationship with the care recipient. The first survey will be sent within two weeks of beginning the KINDER intervention, the second will be sent within one week after participants complete the KINDER intervention so we can compare outcomes.

KINDER Intervention
KINDER is a 9-week psychoeducational intervention.
Knowledge and Interpersonal Skills to Develop Exemplary Relationships
During this 9-week psychoeducational intervention, participants will complete eight weekly, self-paced lessons that include a short video vignette, written text, a reading quiz, and a reflection exercise. Topics include understanding a dementia diagnosis, communicating with a person you care for about challenging topics, finding a balance between safety concerns and independence, and more. Each lesson takes an estimated 1 hour to complete. Independent KINDER lessons can be completed using a printed or digital copy of the KINDER Workbook. In addition, participants will be asked to participate in three, 1.5-hour group discussion sessions with other caregivers and a facilitator. These sessions will take place over Zoom video conference.
