Caring for a loved one is an act of love. But it can also be exhausting, overwhelming, and sometimes lonely. If you’re a caregiver, you don’t have to carry the weight by yourself. This September, A.C.E. of Southwest Minnesota in Cottonwood County is offering a free class called Powerful Tools for Caregivers at the BARC Library. Over six weeks, you’ll learn how to manage stress, make tough decisions, improve communication, and connect with resources that make the journey easier. It’s not just about being a better caregiver, it’s about remembering to care for yourself, too. Classes are free, but space is limited. Don’t just think, “I should do that.” Make the call and reserve your spot. Call Emily at 507-831-1803 today. Powerful Tools for Caregivers, because taking care of someone else starts with taking care of you.
