Hi, neighbors. We have space in our 6-class series beginning next Tuesday at Montpelier Senior Activity Center. It is open to all family caregivers (not only MSAC members). Please see details below. Thanks!

Feeling Overwhelmed as a Family Caregiver?
Powerful Tools for Caregivers Teaches Coping Skills
Are you caring for a spouse with dementia, an aging parent, or an ill family member? Or are you now raising your grandchildren? Is the stress of caregiving taking its toll on your health or your relationships? Then Powerful Tools for Caregivers is for you!
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.
As one caregiver reflected, participating in Powerful Tools made her more “confident and positive” in her role and better able to provide care “…with help. I realize I don’t have to do it alone.” You don’t have to do it alone either!
Central Vermont Council on Aging will be presenting Powerful Tools for Caregivers as part of the Fall 2017 program at the Montpelier Senior Activity Center (MSAC). The class will be held over six consecutive Tuesdays, September 26th through October 31st, from 4:00-6:00 p.m. A $30 donation to CVCOA is suggested but not required to attend the class.
For more information or to join the class, please contact Barb Asen, Family Caregiver Support Coordinator, at basen@cvcoa.org or call 802-476-2681.
