About
Powerful Tools for Caregivers (PTC) is an evidence-based course designed with the caregiver’s well-being in mind. PTC is based on the Chronic Disease Self-Management Program developed at Stanford University’s Patient Education Research Center. In the six-week course (90 minutes per class) caregivers develop a wealth of self-care tools to:
- Reduce personal stress;
- Change negative self-talk;
- Communicate more effectively in challenging caregiving situations;
- Manage their emotions; and
- Make tough caregiving decisions.
This program is currently paused.
