Powerful Tools for Caregivers is an education program to help family and friends caring for older adults with long-term health conditions (e.g., stroke, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s disease, and others) or grandparents raising their grandchildren. Powerful Tools helps caregivers develop skills and confidence to better care for themselves while caring for others. The weekly topics range from reducing stress, communicating in challenging situations, and mastering caregiving decisions. Many caregivers have found this class beneficial, including those caring for a spouse or partner, or adult children caring for parents. The older adult the participant cares for can be living with them, in a nearby community, or across the country. Powerful Tools for Caregivers class participants report they are:

• Better at caring for themselves
• Have fewer feelings of anger, guilt, and depression
• Have increased confidence, and ability to cope with the demands of caregiving; and
• More likely to use community services.
