Interventions
The STELLA-R curriculum is presented utilizing the ABC analytic approach to address care recipient's distressing behaviors. Using the scaffold of the ABC pyramid, they will receive video instructions on how to fully define the Behaviors they want to address by observing, describing, and writing about them. The care partners will learn to identify the Activators, the triggers for the behaviors. Next, care partners will learn to consider what happens after the behaviors, the Consequences. This is an 8-week self-directed, online weekly curriculum.
Following the STELLA-R curriculum, care partners will receive 8 weeks of unrestricted access to all lessons and resources.
Experimental and Waitlist Control group will experience 8 consecutive weeks of limited access to the STELLA-R website and resources. Waitlist Control will experience this from Week 1 to Week 8 while the Experimental Group will reach this phase from Week 17 to Week 24.
