“Powerful Tools for Caregivers,” a class that helps those who care for a loved one also take care of themselves, will start May 26 at Trinity United Methodist Church, 100 S. Blake Ave.

The class will meet from 9-11:30 a.m. on six Tuesdays, ending June 30.

The only cost is $25 for the textbook.

Topics include how the caregiver can reduce personal stress, solve problems, communicate effectively with other family members and make tough decisions.

The class does not focus on hands-on care for the care receiver.

Pre-registration is required and may be done by contacting class leaders Judy Croonquist, phone 582-1370, or Barbara Parse, 683-2113.
