Brief summary of project

Following a stakeholder consultation, we adapted the existing Living Well with Dementia (LivDem) group intervention to develop the Living Well with Dementia for Couples and Families (LivDem-Families) intervention. We then conducted this small pilot study in which the facilitator manual was used by a trained and experienced Clinical Psychologist with four couples/families and a second small study where health care workers were trained and delivered the intervention to two couples. The data held here includes preliminary outcome data and transcripts of follow-up research interviews.
