Powerful Tools for Caregivers

Being a caregiver can be difficult. It is a time of wondering and intense learning, where you feel like you’re constantly trying to learn and evolve into the role. That’s why the ARK offers Powerful Tools for Caregivers (PTC) classes. PTC is an educational program designed to help family caregivers take care of themselves while caring for loved ones who have a chronic illness (Alzheimer’s, stroke, diabetes, etc.). The class is free of charge and includes an insightful resource workbook. View upcoming classes below or click to get more details.

This two-day leader training prepares and certifies PTC class leaders to successfully co-lead the six-week Powerful Tools for Caregivers class series. The fee for the course is $450 and is taught in an online format.

The training program includes:

• Scripted curriculum for both the caregivers of adults with chronic conditions as well as the caregivers of children with special needs classes
• Intensive, experiential, and interactive training provided by a team of certified PTC Master Trainers
• Learning and practicing group leadership and facilitation skills
• DVDs used in caregiver classes
