Hawaii Community Caregiver Network, an all-volunteer nonprofit based in Kona, will offer “Powerful Tools for Caregivers” classes in Kona beginning in July.
PTC is a free series of six, two-hour classes designed to help family members cope with the demands of caring for their loved ones.
Classes are led by a pair of trained community volunteers—most of whom are family caregivers themselves.
This nationwide program helps family caregivers reduce stress, improve self-confidence, communicate feelings better, increase their ability to make tough decisions, learn about resources and balance their lives.
