Powerful Tools for Caregivers
Heritage Agency on Aging’s “Powerful Tools for Caregivers” is a class designed to provide family caregivers with the skills they need to take care of themselves while also caring for loved ones.
The six evidence-based class sessions, offered via Zoom, are held once per week and are led by trained, certified class leaders.
Attendees will learn to:
- Reduce stress
- Better communicate your feelings
- Improve self-confidence
- Increase ability to make tough decisions
- Balance your life
- Locate helpful resources
Topics covered in the course include:
- Taking care of you
- Identifying and reducing personal stress
- Communicating feelings, needs, and concerns
- Learning from emotions
- Communicating in challenging situations
- Mastering caregiving decisions
Like the seasons of the year, caregiving has its great days and not-as-great days. This spring’s course theme, “Seasons of Caregiving,” highlights how the Powerful Tools course will equip you with the skills to make the most of every season.
