Home / Programs and Trainings / Powerful Tools for Caregivers
Powerful Tools for Caregivers classes help caregivers take better care of themselves while caring for a friend or relative. Whether you provide care for a spouse, partner, parent, friend, or a child with special needs; at home or in a care facility, whether down the block or miles away, yours is an important role. This course is for family caregivers like you!
This six-week class series gives you the confidence and support to better care for your loved one – and yourself.
In the class, caregivers receive The Caregiver Helpbook, which follows the curriculum and provides additional tools to address specific caregiver issues. The Caregiver Helpbook can be ordered as a resource at powerfultoolsforcaregivers.org

Powerful Tools for Caregivers is sustained by extensive collaborations with community-based organizations. PTC is a train-the-trainer model program with a detailed, scripted, curriculum. Our goal is to build capacity to replicate the program through affordable Class Leader and Master Trainer trainings. Increasing the number of classes available makes it possible for more caregivers to benefit from the proven outcomes of the PTC program.
If you would like to have the ability to train PTC Class Leaders, you must become a Master Trainer. To learn more about becoming a Master Trainer click here: https://www.powerfultoolsforcaregivers.org/master-trainers/
