Powerful Tools for Caregivers is proven to help family caregivers enhance their self-care, reduce their
stress levels, and feel better in general about their caregiving. It covers
topics such as communicating effectively, asking for help, making action plans
for self-care, using helpful resources, and more. Caregivers who’ve taken the
course exclaim, “Thank you for giving me tools to cope!,” “What a beautiful and
meaningful class! It came at just the
right time for me,” and “Thank you for a great period of enlightenment.”

Powerful Tools for Caregivers
is open to Boulder County residents providing care for a relative, partner, or
friend who is age 60 or over - or of any age if the person has dementia. There is no charge for the course, but donations
are appreciated.
