Interventions
Exercising together
The Exercising Together program is a partnered functional strength training program that encourages participating dyads to interact with one another, verbally and physically, during exercise sessions. In Exercising Together, the survivor and their caregiver will build skills to work as a team. We will incorporate skills that promote and reinforce communication, motivation, and support and use this to guide training of survivor-caregiver dyads to maximize their teamwork during each exercise session. Group sessions are delivered remotely through videoconferencing software and are supervised by two trained exercise instructors. Intervention and assessment is available in English or Spanish.
