Purpose

The goal of this National Institutes of Health (NIH) Stage 1a study is to develop and pilot test a research- and community-informed financial counseling and advocacy (FCA) intervention for dementia family caregivers in early and middle adulthood. The main question it aims to answer is: Is a research- and community-informed financial counseling and advocacy intervention usable, feasible and acceptable for dementia family caregivers in early and middle adulthood? Participants will engage in a four-week single group financial counseling and advocacy intervention and complete pre- and post-intervention measures addressing financial well-being, caregiver strain, workplace productivity, and flourishing along with usability, acceptability, and feasibility measures.
