Powerful Tools for Caregivers (PTC) Class Leader Training is an evidence-based, self-care education program for those who want to co-lead the dynamic workshop for family caregivers. The integrated training will equip class leaders to co-lead programs for two target audiences: caregivers of adults with chronic conditions and caregivers of children with special health and behavioral needs. This training opportunity is not a support group, but rather a 6-week education program where focus is on the caregiver and developing skills and knowledge for self-care.
This course is limited to those who live/provide care in North Dakota. If you want to begin or expand the Powerful Tools for Caregivers program in the community or county you serve, now is the time! To reserve a space, registration is required by Monday, August 19!

9:00 am – 12:00 pm (CST)

North Dakota State University (NDSU) Extension began the PTC program in May 2013. Today there are 35+ trained Class Leaders offering workshops to family caregivers across the state. The PTC program can be delivered both in-person or virtually. The customary registration fee is waived due to a grant through the ND Department of Health & Human Services, Division of Aging Services.
