Telehealth Assessment and Skill-Building Intervention for Stroke Caregivers (TASK III)
Caring for a family member after a stroke can be very difficult and worsen the physical and mental health of untrained caregivers. The TASK III intervention is a unique, comprehensive caregiver intervention program that enables caregivers to develop the necessary skills to manage care for the survivor, while also taking care of their own health.

• Score 4 or more on a 6-item cognitive impairment screener.
