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 will be offered online this summer by Central Vermont Council on Aging in partnership with Southwestern Vermont Council on Aging, facilitated by two experienced class leaders. It will be held on Zoom over six consecutive Fridays, July 16th through August 27th, from 2:00-3:30 p.m. The class is free but donations to CVCOA and SVCOA are welcome and appreciated.
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 evidence-based 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.
Registration is required by July 8th. For registration information, please contact Barb Asen, Family Caregiver Support Director, at basen@cvcoa.org or call 802-476-2681.
