FOR NEW MEMBERS, HERE'S INFORMATION ABOUT THE CAREGIVERS LIST WHICH MAY
INTEREST YOU---
For the benefit of new members of the PD list, this is an update about
CARE (Caregivers Are Really Essential),the sublist especially for PD
caregivers
(CGs). The need for such a list was evident from feelings expressed on
the
PD list that there were times when CGs needed to be able to "let off steam "
in a place where this would not upset carepartners (CPs). Some of us have
caregiver support groups, where we can safely express feelings, get
practical
support, and share experiences--others do not. The CARE list serves this
need,
but DOES NOT shut off participation by CGs on the mainlist.We operate
through
a listserv at Miami University, Oxford,Ohio. This is a closed list, and CGs
who wish to join may send a request as follows:
[log in to unmask]
SUBscribe CARE (your first and last names)
Instructions will then be sent to you as to how to proceed, when you have
been added to the list. List "co-owners" are Jeff Jones and myself. The
traffic on CARE is a lot less than the main list,log listinfo consideration.
Welcome aboard! Questions? email me, Sharon (until Camilla returns in
January) or Jeff:
