We support family caregivers. Too often, caregivers are overlooked and under-appreciated. We want to change that narrative.
We are grateful for researchers who are studying aspects of dementia caregiving.
Here are some research projects currently looking for participants.
Study on Work-Life Balance of Dementia Caregivers
The Healthy Balance Lab at Portland State University is conducting a fully remote research study on the work-life balance of dementia caregivers. Professor Jensine Paoletti-Hatcher and the Healthy Balance Lab Research Team are working to understand how paid employment and unpaid caregiving impacts psychological and physiological stress. Participation is voluntary, confidential, and compensated (via Amazon gift cards).
