Agency Description:
As of 2021, PTC has been owned and housed at Iowa State University Health and Human Sciences Extension and Outreach. Originally developed to reach caregivers of adults with chronic conditions, Powerful Tools for Caregivers has expanded the program to include classes for parents of children with special needs. Six class sessions held once a week are led by certified, experienced class leaders. Classes range in size between 6-15 caregivers. Class participants are given the Powerful Tools for Caregivers Workbook to accompany the class and provide additional caregiver resources.
The class will give you tools to help:
Reduce Stress
Improve Self-Confidence
Manage Time, Set Goals, and Solve Problems
Better Communicate Your Feelings
Locate Helpful Resources
Make Tough Decisions
