The goal of this pilot study is to determine the feasibility, acceptability and impact of a brief behavioral intervention - the "Well-Beans for Caregivers" program, for adult caregivers of individuals with tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) of any age. The main questions of the study are: 1. Can this innovative, ultra-brief caregiver well-being intervention be delivered feasibly to caregivers via an online modality? 2. How do the caregivers experience the program (acceptability)? 3. Does limited efficacy testing suggest the program has an impact on caregiver's well-being?
The investigators hypothesize that an innovative, ultra-brief caregiver wellbeing intervention developed for caregivers of children with developmental disabilities can be adapted as a universal caregiver wellbeing intervention in tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC), that it can be delivered feasibly in an online modality, and will result in changes in key caregiver wellbeing factors. To test these hypotheses, the researchers will adapt the 3-session 'Well-Beans for Caregivers' program through a participatory method with the TAND consortium (the TAND consortium is an international group of clinica…
Inclusion Criteria: * Adult caregiver of an individual with Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (TSC) of any age Exclusion Criteria: * Not an adult caregiver of an individual with TSC
This is a brief behavioral intervention consisting of 3 weekly 2-hour sessions. The sessions are based on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and are designed to improve psychological flexibility in caregivers. This in turn is designed to help them connect with their difficult emotions and experiences in a flexible way, and improve emotional well-being.
