This study evaluated a virtual course for family caregivers from across Canada, focused on supporting the mental health and well\u2010being of adults with IDD and their families. The evaluation examined the feasibility and acceptability of the course, as well as the impact of the intervention on participants' overall health and well\u2010being.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>The 6\u2010week virtual course, informed by a parallel Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes (ECHO) course for service providers, combined didactic instruction with applied activities. A total of 126 family caregiver course participants consented to be part of the research evaluation delivered over three cycles between October 2020 and April 2021.<\/jats:p><jats:p>Attendance was measured at each weekly session. Satisfaction was assessed weekly and post\u2010program. Learning, self\u2010efficacy, and well\u2010being were assessed pre\u2010 and post\u2010course, and again at follow\u2010up (8\u00a0weeks post\u2010course).
