C. A. R. E. (Caregivers Are Really Essential)

CARE (Caregivers Are Really Essential) is a sublist of the Parkinson Information Exchange Network (PIEN), which was created  because it appeared that the caregivers (CGs) of people with Parkinsons (PWPs) needed a place where they could find support of all kinds, vent frustrations, and exchange ideas without fear of hurting anyone's feelings. It is, so to speak, a "virtual" support group, as many CGs do not have a local group, or are "long distance" CGs.

The CARE list is much smaller than the main PIEN list,  so there is less traffic daily and fewer messages to read. It does NOT shut off participation on the main PD list, although a few CGs find both lists are too much to follow, and decide to read only CARE. We operate through a listserv at Miami University in Oxford, OHIO, USA.

Any CG who wishes to join CARE should send an email to:

listserv@listserv.muohio.edu

In the body of the email should be this command:

SUBscribe CARE your full name

Because CARE is a closed list your request will be forwarded to the owners of the list, who will add you, and send you further instructions.

Questions can be send to one of the list-owners:
