Powerful Tools for Caregivers

Powerful Tools for Caregivers is an educational program designed to help family caregivers take care
of themselves while caring for a relative or friend
who is 55 or better. You will benefit from this class whether you are helping a parent, spouse, friend, someone who lives at home, in a nursing home, or across the country.  The program will help you reduce stress, communicate more effectively, take care of yourself, reduce guilt, anger and depression, help
you relax, make tough decisions and much more.

This class is a six-week series. 
Class is limited, and registration is required.
