Psychosocial interventions for carers of people with dementia are increasingly recognized as playing an important role in dementia care. We aim to systematically review the evidence from existing systematic reviews of psychosocial interventions for informal carers of people with dementia. To be most effective, interventions should include both an educational and a therapeutic component; delivery through a support group format may further enhance their effectiveness. Successful translation of evidence into practice in this area remains a challenge.
