Powerful Tools for Caregivers is a 6-week workshop designed for non-professional family caregivers who are helping a parent, spouse or friend living in the community, a nursing home or across the country. This highly effective, self-care program builds skills that family caregivers need to better care for themselves as they provide care for others. Caregiver participants learn to minimize the potentially negative impacts of caregiving while emphasizing self-care and empowerment. The workshop focuses on self-care for the caregiver, not on specific diseases or hands-on caregiving.
Each session meets at the Negaunee Senior Center on Thursdays, August 21 through September 25, from 1:00 - 2:30 p.m. (EST). Class size is limited. Registration is required and ends on August 8 or when the class is full. To register, click on the Eventbrite link or dial 2-1-1 for assistance.
