Re: INTRODUCTION/ Joining CARE

[Camilla Flintermann <flintec@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Welcome Miriam-- I invite you to join the CARE list for caregivers of PWPs
if you like, for a CG's perspective on PD.Here is the information about it,
for you and others---

ESPECIALLY FOR NEW MEMBERS OF THE  PIEN LIST, here's information about CARE !

CARE (Caregivers Are Really Essential) is a sublist of the main PD list. It
is especially for caregivers (CGs) of  Parkinsonians (PWPs). The need for
such a list was evident from feelings expressed on the PD list that there
are times when CGs need to be able to "let off steam" in a place where they
will not upset their PWPs. Some of us have CareGiver support groups, where
we can safely express feelings, get practical support, and share
experiences but some do not. The CARE list , as a "virtual support group",
serves this need, but DOES NOT shut off the participation of CGs on the
main list.

CGs who want to join CARE, where there is much less traffic than on the
main list, may do so as follows:

 Send  in body of post  (not on subject line) to:
        listserv@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

this command:  subscribe CARE  your full name

 no signature, please.

You will be added to the list, and will receive further instructions.

If you have problems,     for CARE ask Camilla Flintermann
<flintec@xxxxxxxxxx>
                      or Jeff Jones (co-owner) <jpjones@xxxxxxxxxxx>
