The American Red Cross of Northeast Indiana is offering free family caregiver training classes for residents of Whitley County. The first one “Positioning and Helping Your Loved One Move,” will be Tuesday, Nov. 24, from 6-7 p.m. at the Churubusco Public Library, 116 N. Mulberry St. After completing the 1-hour module, participants should better understand and be able to apply the principles of good body mechanics; understand the importance of repositioning a loved one who spends a lot of time in bed; recognize how to prevent pressure ulcers; and understand how to safely help their loved one move. All participants will receive a free Family Caregiving Reference Guide and DVD set. This guide is ideal for learning necessary family caregiving skills, and was awarded the 2008 Caregiver Friendly award.
