About
The purpose of this study is to examine whether an 8-week online educational group-based program tailored to people with systemic sclerosis can help improve cognitive function and well-being.
The study team hypothesize that participants that receive the intervention will have better improvements immediately after treatment at week 8 in all cognitive function measures, non-cognitive symptoms, and self-management compared to those in the waitlist control.
