Training Courses for Family Caregivers
Boulder County Area Agency on Aging offers two training
programs for family caregivers of older adults.
The National Caregiver Training Program is a 21-
hour course, held over seven weeks, that helps family
caregivers acquire the skills needed to provide safe,
confident home care for older loved ones. Classes,
taught by a registered nurse, provide detailed instruction,
demonstration, and hands-on practice. The next course
is on Thurs., October 4 – Nov. 15, 1:30 – 4:30 p.m., in
Boulder.
Powerful Tools for Caregivers is a 15-hour course,
held over six weeks, that gives family caregivers tools
to ensure they take care of themselves while caring
for others. Classes, taught by trained leaders, help
caregivers learn to reduce stress, improve self-confidence,
communicate their feelings, and more. The next course
is on Wednesdays, Oct. 10 – Nov. 14, 1:30 – 4 p.m., in
Boulder.
Both courses are open to Boulder County residents caring
for a relative, partner, or friend who is 60 or over (or of any
age if the person has dementia). There is no charge, but
donations are appreciated. Financial assistance for respite
care during class periods is available. Pre-registration is
required; contact Emily Cooper, BCAAA, at 303-678-6116
