ESCANABA — Powerful Tools for Caregivers, a six-week online workshop, designed for the non-professional, informal family caregiver, will be held on Wednesdays, beginning October 6, through November 10 from 2-3:30 p.m., with an optional Zoom orientation on September 29 at 2 p.m.

The Powerful Tools for Caregivers online program will provide caregivers tools to help reduce stress and increase relaxation, make tough decisions, reduce guilt, anger and depression, communicate effectively, set goals and problem solve, and take better care of themselves while caring for a relative or friend. Caregivers will benefit from the class whether they are helping a parent, spouse, or friend living at home, in long-term care or across the country. Powerful Tools for Caregivers is offered by Upper Peninsula Commission for Area Progress (UPCAP) in partnership with Tri-County Office on Aging. There is no charge for this online workshop, but registration is required. Participants must also have a computer, tablet, or smartphone with internet connection and email address to participate. Class size is limited and registration ends on September 26th.
