Powerful Tools for Caregivers

    Registration is open for the spring 2024 session of Powerful Tools for Caregivers, a six-week series designed to help unpaid family and friend caregivers learn to care for themselves while caring for others. In this class you will learn to reduce stress, improve self-confidence, communicate more effectively and make tough decisions.

    The class will take place on Tuesdays from April 16 through May 21, 1-2:30 p.m., at Legacy Medical Group-Cornell, 1960 NW 167th Place in Beaverton. The cost is $30 to cover the price of the handbook, but the fee will be waived if this is a hardship. Contact Susan Williams at 503-846-3089 or email [email protected] to sign up.
