CREST offering course on helpful tools for caregivers

CREST is offering a four-week course for caregivers in Fairmont entitled “A Toolbox for Caregivers.” These sessions will run from 9:30-11 a.m. Thursdays, June 1 to June 22, at the CREST office, 820 Winnebago Ave. in Fairmont.

“A Toolbox for Caregivers” is designed to provide caregivers with “tools” to reduce stress, deal with emotions, make tough decisions, and better handle the challenges you face as a caregiver. We cannot take your problems away, but we can help you find ways to manage them better, to seek and find solutions. A happy caregiver is a better caregiver. There is a suggested $10 donation to help cover the cost of materials. If you would like to attend this course, please RSVP to the CREST office by Monday, May 22, by calling (507) 235-3833.
