Powerful Tools for Caregivers
Six Week Classes coming up. Caring for a family member or friend with a chronic condition can be physically, emotionally, and financially draining. This highly effective, evidence-based, self-care educational program for family caregivers, builds the skills caregivers need to take better care of themselves as they provide care for others. Caregiver providers learn to minimize the potentially negative impacts of caregiving in a six week course delivered virtually in 90- min sessions one day per week. Research on Powerful Tools for Caregivers has consistently shown increased self-efficacy for caregiver participants. In 2012, the PTC program was recognized by the Administration on Aging as having met its highest level criteria for evidence-based programs.
Improve the lives of family caregivers in your community…
Powerful Tools for Caregivers has served caregivers of adults with chronic conditions since 1998.
Caregivers benefit from the PTC classes whether they are:
• Spouses/partners of an adult with a chronic condition • Adult children of aging parents
• Long-distance caregivers
• In differing stages in their caregiving role
• From diverse rural, urban, or ethnic communities
Questions? Contact Nicole Manus, YMCA Community Health Director: nmanus@ymcainw.org
