Group or phone support for older adults with distress
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether structured group therapy, or supportive phone calls, can help older adults (75+) who feel increased psychological distress. You may be placed in a group session or offered phone support, and the study will compare your experience and outcomes.
