Powerful Tools for Caregivers

Powerful Tools for Caregivers is a 6-week psychoeducational program. Each week the caregivers will attend a 90-minute workshop in a group setting. These sessions will be co-led by two trained and certified leaders who follow the scripted program. In addition to providing education about caregiving and the importance of self-care, the classes will help caregivers develop self-care tools to manage personal stress and improve communication skills.
