PTC is an evidence-based, self-care educational program for family and friend caregivers. During the six-week program emphasizing self-care and empowerment, participants learn to minimize the potentially negative impacts of caregiving. Research on PTC since its development in 1998 has consistently shown that participants gain increased confidence in their ability to act purposefully to manage their caregiving goals and improve their skills in taking care of themselves.
