This psychological support programme is intended for carers of older adults experiencing cognitive and emotional difficulties. It is a study led by Professor Linda Chiu Wa Lam from the Department of Psychiatry, Faculty of Medicine, at The Chinese University of Hong Kong.

The programme will be delivered online, through a private Facebook group, and over a 26-week (6-month) period. Two short videos will be released each week, covering topics including:

• Understanding dementia and cognitive impairment

• Common challenges faced by carers

• Psychological conflicts and emotional struggles

• Help-seeking and support pathways

• Positive caregiving approaches

• Anticipatory grief

Participants are invited to watch the videos regularly and, after viewing them, take part in online discussions and exchange experiences with other carers.

Participants are expected to complete three assessments at the start, after 6 months, and after 9 months. Each assessment will take about 30 minutes and covers emotional wellbeing and positive caregiving experiences. These assessments will evaluate the psychological support programme’s impact on participants’ overall wellbeing.

Participation is voluntary and free. Participants can stop completing questionnaires or withdraw from the study at any time without any consequences.
