Powerful Tools for Caregivers (Washington)
WA Area Agencies on Aging
Powerful Tools for Caregivers is a six-week, evidence-based class developed by Legacy Health in Portland and now offered nationwide. Trained leaders walk small groups of family caregivers through self-care, stress reduction, communication with doctors and family members, decision-making for difficult situations, and emotion management. The Washington class registry is maintained by the program's national office, and most Washington AAAs (Pierce, Clark, Cowlitz, Northwest Regional Council, and others) offer recurring cohorts in person and on Zoom.
