Powerful Tools for Caregivers Online

This online course is exclusively focused on self-care of the caregiver. 

It is well known that caring for someone with a chronic illness is stressful and takes an enormous physical and emotional toll on caregivers. And while there are some courses available about how to care for others with chronic illnesses, this course is exclusively focused on self-care of the caregiver. 

Developed by Mather LifeWays Institute on Aging with the support of the American Business Collaboration for Quality Dependent Care (ABC), Powerful Tools for Caregivers Online is based on Powerful Tools for Caregivers, a community-based program now taught in 23 states by trained class leaders. 

Powerful Tools for Caregivers Online is a six-week, online educational course that will help you:

• manage the common stresses associated with caring for a relative or friend with a chronic medical condition
• design effective action-planning tools and time management as a caregiver
• communicate more effectively with friends, family, health care providers, and coworkers
• find resources
• cope with emotions such as guilt and depression

Classes can be accessed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
