Family carers and professionals needed for new study about the use of telecommunications and IT to provide support to family carers!
Family carers and professionals needed for new study about the use of telecommunications and IT to provide support to family carers!
Are you a:
- Family carer of someone with a learning disability who has received support from a professional about your relative’s behaviour?
- Professional involved in providing support to family carers of people with learning disabilities about their relative’s behaviour?
If you have answered YES to either of those questions then we would like to hear from you!
Serena Tomlinson at the Tizard Centre (University of Kent) is seeking the views of family carers and professionals about using telecommunication and IT (called ‘telehealth’) to provide support to family carers about their relative’s behaviour.
We would like to ask about your views on support provided by telehealth and any advantages or barriers you think there might be to this. You do not need to have received or provided support via telehealth to take part.
If you are interested in taking part or would like more information, please contact Serena using the details below.
