In the Powerful Tools For Caregivers class, caregivers develop a wealth of self-care tools. In the six 90-minute classes, caregivers learn to:
• Reduce personal stress
• Change negative self-talk
• Communicate their needs to family members and healthcare service providers
• Communicate more effectively in challenging situations
• Recognize the messages in their emotions and deal with difficult feelings
• Plus make tough caregiving decisions (replacement, driving issues, or finances)
SAVVY programs are designed to provide the most relevant dementia knowledge, skills, and mastery to support family members as they provide care for their relative or friend living with dementia. Savvy Caregiver programs have been proven to decrease family caregiver distress, burden, and depression, while increasing caregivers’ sense of competence and confidence in their care role.
