This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This study is testing a type of talk therapy called Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) delivered in a group setting for people who are the main caregivers for a family member who has had a stroke. The research team wants to see if this group therapy can reduce stress, anxiety, and burnout that caregivers often experience, and help them feel more in control and better about their quality of life.
Being the primary caregiver for someone recovering from a stroke is emotionally and physically exhausting. Many caregivers experience high levels of stress and depression, but there aren't many proven treatments designed specifically for them. This study aims to fill that gap by testing whether this particular therapy group can help caregivers manage their stress and feel more resilient.

If you join the treatment group, you will attend weekly group therapy sessions where you'll learn and practice coping skills with other caregivers in similar situations. If you're randomly placed in the waiting list group, you'll wait a few months and then have the option to join the therapy group afterward. Either way, you'll complete brief questionnaires before the group starts, right after it ends, and again 2 months later to help the researchers measure whether the therapy helped reduce your stress and improve your well-being.
