Mentis Plus+ Caregivers
Mentis Plus+Caregivers is a positive mental health promotion programme for informal caregivers of people with dementia. It is organised into six modules: (F1) Personal Satisfaction; (F2) Prosocial Attitude; (F3) Self-control; (F4) Autonomy; (F5) Problem-solving and Self-actualisation; and (F6) Interpersonal Relationship Skills. Each module is delivered through three sequential sessions (A, B and C). The Self-control module (F3) was selected due to its particular relevance for informal caregivers of people with dementia, given the emotional and behavioural demands inherent in caregiving. In addition to the modular sessions, the programme includes two initial sessions, an introductory session (group or individual) and a first individual session, and two final sessions, consisting of a final assessment session and an individual follow-up session conducted 3 months after programme completion.
