We're here for you - online, 24/7
Hi ,
Last week I said our support groups are on summer break. That's not entirely true - Bob's spousal support group, taking place on Tuesdays at 10pm EST, is continuing for the summer. If you have suggestions for what we can do to make our support groups better, please reply and let me know.
You'll notice that our chat window is still there on the right of your screen. You can log on and have a private discussion at any time, either with an individual member or in the members-only chatroom. It's a great alternative to having a discussion on Facebook, which is public.
There isn't always someone in the chatroom, but you'll always get a response on our forums.
If there's an interesting thread in the forums, I'll mention it in the message.
Do you have advice for how to help with these caregiving situations?
Here are some of the other topics we've been talking about on the forums:
If you're feeling inspired to tell your story, we'd love to hear from you on our forums.
