Powerful Tools for Caregivers by Self Management Program Central East

Powerful Tools for Caregivers classes help caregivers take better care of themselves while caring for a friend or relative. In the six weekly classes, caregivers learn self-care tools to reduce stress, manage emotions, gain self-confidence, and access community resources.

The Powerful Tools for Caregivers program is an evidence-based education program offering a unique combination of elements. The curriculum was developed over three years of pilot testing in Portland, Oregon and offered since 1998. Originally developed to reach caregivers of adults with chronic conditions, Powerful Tools for Caregivers has expanded the program to include classes for parents of children with special needs.

Six class sessions held once a week are led by certified, experienced class leaders. Classes range in size between 8-15 caregivers.

Wednesdays Sep 8 – Oct 13 6:00 PM to 7:30 PM
