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 or Jeff:
