The Powerful Tools for Caregivers workshop series continues in 2022 with three programs offered January through March. This program gives caregivers the skills to care for themselves while also caring for someone else.
The best thing I got out of the workshop was a sense of community. Knowing there are others who face similar challenges, gives you hope to continue facing yours.

Sessions are offered in-person in Henderson and Fernley, and virtually in either English or Spanish.
