King’s College London is currently recruiting carers of people with dementia who have recently moved to a care home to participate in a Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT) group.
Are you a carer for a person with dementia?
Has the person you care for moved into a care home in the last 12 months?
Are you aged 18 or older?
If you have answered yes to these questions, you may be interested in our research project. King’s College London is running a group for carers of people with dementia, when the person they care for has recently moved to a care home.
The group will teach skills and strategies to manage difficult feelings. It is based on Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT).
What will it involve?
- Completing questionnaires
- Attending 5 online group sessions
- An interview about your experiences of the group
You will receive £40 in vouchers for participating.
Feedback from the group will help to inform a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology research at King’s College London, which is exploring the feasibility of delivering an online Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT) group intervention for carers of people with dementia who have moved to a care home.
The Compassion Focused Therapy group is open to carers across England, Scotland and Wales and has received approval from King’s College London research ethics committee. The research is being conducted by Laura Chatland, a Trainee Clinical Psychologist.
