67 PROVEN APPROACH Evidence in support of problem-solving training Evidence shows that caregivers who are good at problem-solving are less likely to develop depression, anxiety, and poor health in their first year of caring for a family member. Those who have strong problem-solving skills are better at regulating their emotions, staying positive about their ability to cope with problems as they arise, and are better able to be realistic about what they can and can t do.
