Abstract
This article presents a brief overview of the literature on the unique and diverse needs of rural caregivers and issues related to the design and implementation of caregiving interventions in rural areas. The Tele-Help Line for Caregivers (TLC), a clinical telehealth intervention currently underway for rural caregivers, is described. A case example is presented, demonstrating the benefits of a telehealth intervention for the rural caregiver. Each component of the intervention is described and preliminary outcome data are discussed. Issues related to the applicability of the intervention for a racially/ethnically diverse group of caregivers are also addressed.
