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 C.A.R.E. (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 Camilla Flintermann. The traffic on CARE is much less than the main list. Questions? email Camilla at: [log in to unmask] Welcome aboard!
