About

The purpose of this research study is to culturally adapt a personalized intervention for Hispanic/Latino caring for a loved one with significant memory problems. The intervention will be designed to help Hispanics/Latinos caring for a loved one with significant memory problems in their own unique context to: 1.) understand the importance of social connections for their own health and well-being, 2.) learn to become aware of their own personal barriers to social connections, and 3.) increase their knowledge of local resources for promoting social connections.
