Monthly Memo

The Value of PTC to your community

Hello, Master Trainers and Class Leaders!

As a trained facilitator of the Powerful Tools for Caregivers (PTC) program, you know firsthand the positive impact PTC has on caregivers and their families. In today’s rapidly changing environment, where funding decisions, resource allocations, and regulations continue to shift and evolve, it is more important than ever that we at PTC Headquarters demonstrate the value and reach of PTC.


We, Dr. Lee (program manager) and Dr. Anthony (program coordinator), are asking you to take a few minutes to complete the "Value of PTC" survey. Your responses will help us:

  • Show the real impact PTC has in communities like yours
  • Advocate for continued support in the face of rising costs and new regulations
  • Ensure caregivers have ongoing access to this essential program


A couple of you have completed this survey already, citing that the program is invaluable to your community. We wholeheartedly agree with that sentiment and believe PTC is invaluable to benefit the lives of caregivers. However, if you can estimate a number to reflect the value, that would be exceptionally helpful as we navigate changing policies and industry standards. By sharing your experience, you help protect and expand PTC to ensure caregivers can access caregiving tools beneficial to their well-being.


Please click the button below to complete the survey. If that does not work, try copying this link (https://iastate.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_3VgHAqtcCNwELzw) into your browser.


If you're able, we're looking to obtain information before the end of April 2025, but we will keep the survey open for completion outside that date.


As always, you're welcome to email me - Katie - with any questions or concerns (ptcaregivers@iastate.edu) and I'm happy to help in any way I'm able.


Thank you for your dedication and engagement with PTC. You all make the world a better place every day. Keep up the amazing work!


Humbly,

Dr. Jeongeun Lee & Dr. Katie Anthony

PTC HQ Program Manager & Program Coordinator
