Shore Regional Cancer Center and The Wellness Community-Delmarva are offering a series of free educational programs to help cancer patients and their family members cope with life after a cancer diagnosis.

Coping Tools 101 begins with a four-session program about the use of guided imagery and relaxation techniques. The program will be led by Sharon Loving, LCSW-C of The Wellness Community-Delmarva. The class meets Wednesday, March 11, March 25, April 8 and April 22 from 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. at Shore Regional Cancer Center, 509 Idlewild Avenue in Easton.
