We will perform a multi-site, mixed methods RCT. Caregivers of patients who are receiving acute care for their first stroke will be recruited within the first week of hospital admission. Members of the stroke team from the participating hospitals' stroke units will identify potential participants and ask their permission to be approached by each site's research assistant. The research assistant will fully explain the study, answer questions, obtain consent, administer the baseline questionnaires, and then contact the project coordinator who will then randomize participants to one of three groups: A) TIR Stroke Family Support Program delivered by a stroke support person, B) caregiver self-directed TIR Stroke Family Support Program, and C) usual care that includes provision of the Heart and Stroke educational resource "Let's Talk about Stroke". The research assistants will give caregivers a copy of "Let's Talk about Stroke" (if they have not yet received a copy) and introduce them to the stroke support person who will deliver the full intervention and instruct the family in the use of the self-directed arm of the intervention. A second part-time research assistant blinded to group assignment will complete routine follow-up assessments with participants at 3, 6, and 12 months post-stroke. A subset of 36 participants (6 from each site) will also participate in a qualitative interview after completion of their 12-month follow-up assessment.
