Feeling Overwhelmed as a Family Caregiver?
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!
Central Vermont Council on Aging, in partnership with the Community Health Team, CVMC Family Medicine in Waterbury will be presenting Powerful Tools for Caregivers at the Waterbury Area Senior Center, 12 Stowe Street, Waterbury. The class will be held over six consecutive Fridays, February 2 through March 9, from 2:00-4:00 p.m. A $30 donation to CVCOA is suggested but not required to attend the class.
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. All participants receive a copy of The Caregiver Helpbook, developed specifically for the class.
The class will be co-led by Christine Melicharek of CVCOA and Dorothy Robinson of CVMC Family Medicine. For more information and to register, please contact CVCOA Family Caregiver Support Coordinator, Barb Asen, at basen@cvcoa.org or call 802-476-2681.
