“Powerful Tools for Caregivers,” a class that helps those who care for a loved one also take care of themselves, will start Jan. 27 at Trinity United Methodist Church, 100 S. Blake Ave.

The class meets from 9-11:30 a.m. on six Tuesdays, ending March 3. The only fee 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 at 582-1370 and Debby Smith at 797-1074.
