We are looking for adults with diverse cultural backgrounds who are formal caregivers of older adults with functional or mobility limitations. We are conducting a research study to investigate how participating in an online discussion forum called a Community of Practice (CoP) helps increase caregiver competence for caregivers of diverse cultural backgrounds caring for elderly with functional and mobility limitations. This will be via Online Zoom video calls. We are looking for participants willing to engage in weekly discussions for eight weeks about their caregiving experience, learn about caregiving skills, how to manage stress, and address overall well-being.
