Powerful Tools for Caregivers, a six-week, evidence-based program, is designed to assist caregivers in improving: self-care behaviors, self-confidence, and community connections. Over the course of six weeks, participants are coached in proactive ways to deal with the difficult emotions that can often accompany caregiving and are connected to a network of individuals to share support and best practices.

Starting in January, the Area Agency on Aging for SWFL, will offer a free, virtual six-week Powerful Tools for Caregivers Workshop. This workshop series begins Jan. 24th and continues to Feb. 28, every Tuesday from 2-3:30 p.m. on ZOOM.
