"Caring for the Caregiver," a women's retreat, will be offered by the women's ministry of Manor Presbyterian Church, 505 Street Road, Cochranville, on Saturday, Oct. 21, from 8:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. The event's purpose is to help caregivers move beyond the difficulties encountered in caregiving to discover the importance of taking care of themselves.

Barbara W. Shaffer, a practicing psychologist in Chadds Ford, will lead the retreat. Shaffer will offer two teaching sessions: "Caring for the Caregiver's Body" and "Caring for the Caregiver's Mind and Heart."

The event is free and includes a continental breakfast and lunch. To make reservations by Monday, Oct. 9, contact Robyn Fagan at 610-869-2402 or office@manorpresbyterian.com.
