Need to talk?
Hi ,
Thanks to everyone who offered to lead a chat last week! It's fantastic to see people coming together to support each other. You can see the full schedule here or just log on any time.
You'll be seeing some new faces on the site, now that our Spring interns have started. Please welcome Krystel, Irina, Jacklyn, Brenda, and Rachel to The Caregiver Space.
I'm excited that we'll finally be expanding our blogging program. You might remember me mentioning this a while back. If you've been thinking of sharing your caregiving story or would like a bigger audience for your blogs, you're welcome to join us as a regular contributor at The Caregiver Space. If you've already signed up, you'll be getting a separate email from me soon. If you haven't signed up yet, there's still time.
Have a great weekend,
