Since I just posted the ´how to´ on the PIEN list, I send it to you only. It is very helpful. Both lists are but the cg list is only for cgs so it gives us a space to vent on bad days. See you there I hope, here is the standard message: > > DO YOU KNOW ABOUT the CARE LIST for CGs of PWPs ? > > If you are a caregiver, either"hands on" or at a distance, for > someone with Parkinsons, you may wish to join CARE (Caregivers Are > Really Essential) the "sister list" of PIEN. CARE does not take the > place of your participation on PIEN, and is a smaller list, but it > offers a safe place for CGs to share information, ask questions and > vent feelings with understanding support and without worrying > about hurting anyone's feelings. > CARE was started by Camilla Flintermann and Jeff Jones in 1995, and > has worldwide membership between 350-400.
