Caregivers often neglect their own needs, leading to high stress and burnout. Valley Area Agency on Aging (VAAA) brings Powerful Tools for Caregivers- a six-week program supplying caregivers with resources, skills and coping mechanisms to manage the physical, emotional, and financial stress of caregiving. This interactive program gives you the tools to take better care of your loved one by taking better care of yourself.
There is no charge for the program; a $20.00 donation for The Caregiver Helpbook is requested, but not required. Powerful Tools for Caregivers upcoming program locations:
