Powerful Tools for Caregivers Class

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.
