"Powerful Tools for Caregivers" is coming to Montpelier this spring!

A description is below. To register, contact Barb Asen, Family Caregiver Support Coordinator, at basen@cvcoa.org or call 802-476-2681.

Description:
Are you caring for a spouse with dementia, an aging parent, or an ill family member? Or do you find yourself 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 another focus 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 is suggested, but not required to attend the class.
