( Council Bluffs, IA) – Feeling Stretched as a Caregiver?  ”Powerful Tools for Caregivers” is an educational series designed to provide you with the tools you need to take care of yourself.  This program helps family caregivers reduce stress, improve self-confidence, improve communication, balance their lives, increase their ability to make tough decisions, and locate helpful resources.

The caregiver class consists of six sessions held once a week. Two experienced Class Leaders conduct the series (many are experienced caregivers themselves, who have successfully applied the techniques they teach). Interactive lessons, discussions and brainstorming will help you take the “tools” you choose and put them into action for your life.

Participants will receive a book, The Caregiver Helpbook and vital support to continue their caregiving journey. There is no fee for the class, but if you would like to make an in kind donation please visit www.connectionsaaa.org and select Donate Now and list “Caregiver Program” in the “Event Support” Area.
