We're excited to welcome the Idaho Community Care Program as they present Powerful Tools for Caregivers in partnership with the Idaho Commission on Aging. This is a six-week class series designed specifically for caregivers. Classes are from 1 pm - 3 pm every Wednesday beginning October 8th. This class comes with materials, so registration is required. Participants will learn practical tools and strategies including:
Tips to reduce stress
Improving self-confidence
Communicating more effectively with the care receiver
Navigating tough decisions and family dynamics
Finding and using community resources
Making tough decisions
Caregiver burnout is real – this program provides support and skills to help caregivers take better care of themselves.
Each session builds on the last, so registration is for the full six-week series. The workshop and all materials are provided at no cost to participants. Call or email Jenny Melka to register:
