Through six 2 1/2 hour sessions held on a weekly basis, caregivers learn to reduce stress, improve self-confidence, better communicate feelings, and locate helpful resources. Attendees also learn how to increase their ability to make tough decisions and balance their lives. Pre-Registration is required - Call 858-2177 or e-mailcaregiver@erie.gov for more information about Powerful Tools for Caregivers Classes and to register.
There is a $25 cost for the course (*covered for all Independent Health and Blue Cross/Blue Shield of WNY health insurance members) which includes The Caregiver Helpbook.
** At the Elim Christian Fellowship Site in March 2013, course cost is covered in full by CHF Cultural Diversity Grant funding for those that are uninsured.
