Powerful Tools for Caregivers

Caregiving involves many challenges. Too often, caregivers neglect their own health and well being, and put their own needs second. This often results in caregivers becoming “burned out,” depressed or physically ill themselves.

Powerful Tools for Caregivers is a six-week course, taught by two program leaders. Participants meet for 1.5 hours each week.

Tools that are learned include: reducing personal stress, communicating feelings and needs, setting limits and asking for help, dealing with emotions, how to make tough decisions, and dealing with difficult situations.

A new class will begin on Wednesday, May 4, from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., and continues for six weeks, at the Warren County YMCA, 212 Lexington Ave., Warren.

This course — LECOM Health LifeWorks Erie Powerful Tools for Caregivers — is free.

To register, contact Chris Dolan at (814)726-0110.
