Powerful Tools for Caregivers is an evidence-based program designed to equip caregivers with a range of self-care tools to help them reduce personal stress and communicate effectively with family members and healthcare providers. This is a program to help the caregiver take care of themselves.

This FREE 6-week program will help you take care of yourself while caring for a relative or friend (no professional caregivers, please). You will benefit from the workshop whether you are helping a parent, spouse, friend or someone who lives at home, in a nursing home, or across the country. Please note that this workshop will not focus on specific diseases or hands-on caregiving for the care receiver.

This workshop will give YOU, the family caregiver, tools to:

• Help you reduce stress
• Communicate effectively with other family members, your doctor, paid help
• Take care of yourself
• Reduce guilt, anger, and depression
• Help you relax
• Make tough decisions
• Set goals and problem-solve

The workshop covers the following topics:

• Hiring in-home help
• Understanding depression
• Helping memory-impaired elders
• Making decisions about driving
• Making legal and financial decisions
