Feeling stretched as a caregiver?

Powerful Tools for Caregivers is an educational series designed to provide you with the tools you need to take care of yourself.

This program helps family caregivers reduce stress, improve self-confidence, communicate feelings better, balance their lives, increase their ability to make tough decisions and locate helpful resources.

Classes consist of six sessions held once a week. Two experienced class leaders conduct the series (many are experienced caregivers themselves, who have successfully applied the techniques they teach). Interactive lessons, discussions and brainstorming will help you take the “tools” you choose and put them into action for your life.

You will receive a book, The Caregiver Helpbook, developed specifically for the class. A donation of $25 (current cost of book) to help defray the cost of the book is suggested, but not required to attend the class.

Classes will be held in the training room on the lower level of the Sawtooth Mountain Clinic in Grand Marais from 5:00 to 7:30 p.m. Sessions are held every Thursday and begin on April 11, 2013. For more information or to register, contact Kay Grindland at (218) 387-3788 or carepartners@boreal.org . Class size is limited and pre-registration by April 8 is required.
