Powerful Tools for Caregivers workshops help caregivers take care of themselves while caring for a loved one.
The evidence based curriculum offers a 6-week series led by certified leaders. Each class series meets at the same time and same day for 6-consecutive weeks, whether in person or on-line.
This is not a support group, but a supportive network of fellow caregivers, helping you remember you are not alone.
Class participants may receive a copy of The Caregiver Helpbook, developed specifically for the class.

Thanks to the PTC leaders in Ontario for creating this video to help you understand what a PTC class is all about!
What Caregivers liked best about the PTC program:
“The list of negatives turned into positives!”
“Learning the difference between being assertive and not being aggressive”
“Knowing you’re not alone!”
