Supports and Education

Powerful Tools for Caregivers (PTC) is an evidence-based course designed with the caregiver’s well-being in mind.  PTC is based on the Chronic Disease Self-Management Program developed at Stanford University’s Patient Education Research Center. In the six-week course (90 minutes per class) caregivers develop a wealth of self-care tools to: 

  • Reduce personal stress; 
  • Change negative self-talk; 
  • Communicate more effectively in challenging caregiving situations; 
  • Manage their emotions; and
  • Make tough caregiving decisions.
