Care Partners Offers “Powerful Tools for Caregivers”

It is said that all of us will be caregivers at some point in our lives—some of us, many times over. Powerful Tools for Caregivers is a free six-week class that gives you the skills to take care of yourself while caring for someone else – either in your home or from a distance. You are welcome to sign up for this powerful course, whether you:

· Were a caregiver in the past, and need some help finding your way forward,

· Are currently caregiving and need some respite and tools to take care of you in the process, or

· Anticipate being a caregiver in the future.

The class is free and includes a Caregiver Helpbook which accompanies the course and provides additional resources. The fall sessions will be led by trained facilitators Kathy Reeves, Retired RN, and Julie Wilson, MSW, LGSW. We’ll meet in person on Wednesdays from 10-11:30am, October 11 – November 15 at the Surfside Resort ballroom in Tofte.  You can register by calling Care Partners at 218-387-3788 or via the Care Partners website: www.carepartnersofcookcounty.org.
