Caring for a family member or friend with a chronic condition can be physically, emotionally, and financially draining. Research on Powerful Tools for Caregivers has consistently shown increased self-efficacy for caregiver participants. The Area Agency on Aging will be offering a six-week class emphasizing self-care and empowerment.
Powerful Tools for Caregivers is an educational program designed to help family caregivers (no professional caregivers, please). This program will help you take care of yourself while caring for a relative for friend. You will benefit from this class whether you are helping a parent, spouse, friend or someone who lives at home, in a nursing home, or across the country.
This class will give YOU, the family caregiver, tools to:
