Why doesn't anyone care about caregivers?
Hi ,
Does it feel like we've been talking about a new website for ages? It feels that way to me! We finally launched our new site today, so you'll probably notice things look different...and faster. Sometimes it can take a while for everything to update, so you might still see the old site if you log in tonight.
The Caregiver Space exists in order to make it easy for caregivers to get support, find useful, realistic advice, and advocate to make sure people get what they need. The new website is designed to make it easier for you to do that. We're making sure you can easily find the latest forum posts, articles, and stories. We're also working on making sure caregivers who'd like to share their experiences have the opportunity to speak up and be heard.
As much as we tried to make sure everything was working correctly, I'm sure there are some things I missed. If you come across any problems, please email me and let me know!
Have a great weekend,
PS - We might have lost a few forum posts and comments in the move from one site to the other. It seems like some of the comments and forum posts from the past day or two have vanished. If your post was lost in the transition, I'm terribly sorry. Please re-post it.

The difficulty of advocating for caregivers
What do you do when your cause isn't sexy or cute? It's amazing how caregiving impacts so many people, yet hardly anyone is talking about it.
