Powerful Tools for Caregivers

Powerful Tools for Caregivers is evidence-based on the highly successful Chronic Disease Self-Management Program developed by Dr. Kate Lorig and her colleagues at Stanford University.

  • Management of Emotions (reduced guilt, anger, and sadness)
  • Self-Efficacy (increased confidence in coping with caregiving demands)
