SOUTHWEST, FL — Powerful Tools for Caregivers, a six-week, evidence-based program, is designed to assist caregivers in improving: self-care behaviors, self-confidence, and community connections. Over the course of six weeks, participants are coached in proactive ways to deal with the difficult emotions that can often accompany caregiving and are connected to a network of individuals to share support and best practices.

Starting in January, the Area Agency on Aging for SWFL (AAASWFL), will offer a free, virtual six-week Powerful Tools for Caregivers Workshop. This workshop series begins Jan. 24 and continues to Feb. 28, every Tuesday from 2 to 3:30 p.m. on Zoom.

Space is limited and advance registration is required. To participate, you must reside in Charlotte, Collier, DeSoto, Glades, Hendry, Lee, or Sarasota County. To register, contact Sarah Gualco, AAASWFL’s Health & Wellness Coordinator at sarah.gualco@aaaswfl.org or by calling 239-652-6914.
