Powerful Tools for Caregivers is a 6-session class designed to provide you with the tools you need to take good care of yourself. This program helps family caregivers reduce stress, improve self-confidence, communicate feelings better, balance their lives, increase their ability to make tough decisions, and locate helpful resources. Action planning with an emphasis on self-care is an important part of the program.
Participants receive a copy of The Caregiver Helpbook, developed specifically for the class. A donation to CVCOA to help defray the cost of the book and materials is suggested, but not required to attend the class.
