Friends-- let me call to your attention an excellent, FREE series of 12 tapes which NPF recently sent to our local support group. Each is about 25-30 minutes long I think, and they cover 12 topics of interest/concern to PWPs and CGs. I've not watched any but the one called "Caregivers need care too", but found it well done, if a bit weighted to the positive side . Listmember Melinda Brown, of NPF,was facilitator,and with Deborah, wife of our own Jim Cordy,and NPF's Ex.Dir. Emilio Alonso-Mendoza discussed caregiving from their own experience. If I felt any shortcoming, it was that the presentation was a bit "upbeat" for the situations of many CGs I've encountered on the CARE list. I think the series would be useful for support groups, and encourage you to request the tapes if you haven't yet received them.
