LAHAINA – Do you care for a parent, spouse, friend or someone living with you, in a care facility or elsewhere?

If so, the “Powerful Tools for Caregivers” class can help you reduce stress, improve self-confidence, communicate feelings better, balance your life, increase your ability to make tough decisions and locate helpful resources.

Classes consist of six sessions held once a week led by two experienced class leaders. Interactive lessons, discussions and brainstorming will help you take the “tools” you choose and put them into action for your life.

“Powerful Tools for Caregivers” is offered at no cost, but class size is limited. Preregistration is required.

Upcoming workshop series will be held on Tuesdays from Jan. 24 to Feb. 28 from 9:30 to 11 a.m. at the West Maui Senior Center in Lahaina; and Wednesdays from Feb. 22 to March 28 from 6:30 to 8 p.m. at Kalama Heights in Kihei.

Call the U.H. Cooperative Extension Office at 244-3242, extension 222, to register.
