About the Program
Register today for this 6-week online class, and learn from trained caregiver leaders. Along with other community members like yourself who care for a loved one, you will gain invaluable ideas to manage your life while serving as a caregiver.
Powerful Tools For Caregivers classes help caregivers take better care of themselves while caring for a friend or relative. This evidence-based education program offers a unique combination of elements. Caregivers learn self-care tools to reduce stress, manage emotions and increase confidence in coping with caregiving demands. Caregivers will also gain access to community resources. Originally developed to reach caregivers of adults with chronic conditions, Powerful Tools for Caregivers has expanded the program to include classes for parents of children with special needs.
In Powerful Tools For Caregivers, caregivers develop a wealth of self-care tools. In the six 90-minute classes, caregivers learn to:
- Reduce personal stress
- Change negative self-talk
- Communicate their needs to family members and healthcare service providers
- Communicate more effectively in challenging situations
- Recognize the messages in their emotions and deal with difficult feelings
- Plus make tough caregiving decisions (re: placement, driving issues, or finances)
