Powerful Tools for Caregivers is a 6-week educational program that focuses on the needs of family caregivers of individuals with chronic conditions. Family caregivers develop a variety of self-care tools to:
• Reduce personal stress
• Change negative self-talk
• Communicate their needs to family members and healthcare providers
• Communicate more effectively in challenging situations
• Deal with difficult feelings
• Make tough caregiving decisions
Class participants also receive a copy of The Caregiver Helpbook, developed specifically for the class. This is a free class for family caregivers of someone with a chronic illness and/or dementia.
You can also register by contacting Megan Vance at 585-244-8400 ext. 213 or mvance@lifespan-roch.org.
We ask for a suggested contribution of $20.00 to cover the course and materials.
This class is being offered in partnership with the Schuyler County Office for the Aging.
