Virtual peer support group intervention: The virtual peer support group aims to improve emotional well-being, reduce isolation, and help caregivers cope by offering a safe space to share experiences and receive support from others facing similar caregiving demands.
Caregiver Support intervention: The caregiver support intervention is a personalized program designed to improve quality of life, reduce fatigue and caregiver burden, and build resilience.
Resources: Participants will be given a list of resources to contact in case of emotional or psychological distress.
The goal of this pilot study is to learn if virtual peer support groups and strengths-based skills training can help family caregivers of ICU survivors providing ongoing support to ICU survivors after hospital discharge. The main question it aims to answer is:
\- Are virtual peer support groups and/or strengths-based skills support feasible and acceptable for family caregivers of ICU survivors? Researchers will compare the intervention group (virtual peer support groups or strengths-based skills training) to the control group (no intervention) to see if the interventions improve caregiver outcomes and assess feasibility and acceptability.
Participants will:
* Participate in either virtual peer support groups or strengths-based skills training sessions (if assigned to the intervention arm).
* Provide feedback on the feasibility and acceptability of the interventions (if assigned to the intervention arm).
* Complete surveys and follow-up questionnaires (either online or by phone) to measure outcomes.
