Welcome, Julie, and thank you

Welcome, Julie, and thank you for posting! Thrilled to have you here.

Caring for a loved one in hospice care can be really difficult on a lot of fronts - from working out the logistics to dealing with some pretty challenging emotions. Always feel comfortable to chime in, as you're comftable, with any specific resources you might be looking for. 

 

Thank you again for positing, and welcome!

Hello,

Hello,

My name is Angie. I am new to CAN, I am a mental health provider and work full time from home. I also take care of my mother at home. I am looking for support from a group of people that understand what is likely to care for someone daily.

Hi, Angie -

Hi, Angie -

Welcome to the Care Community, and to CAN. Appreciate you introducing yourself and sharing that you're caring for your mom while working full time. Balancing work, be it full time or part time, and caregiving isn't easy and I am sure so many are in the same situation.

There can be alot of options for you when it comes to support groups deopending on specific things you're looking for with a support group (example: do you want to find an in-person support group or do you prefer one that's virtual? are you looking for a general caregivers support group or one that is for caregivers of loved ones with a specific disease or condition?) and your location. I'd suggest reaching out to the Caregiver Help Desk to help you explore your options. They can be reached via toll-free number at (855)227-3640 or via chat on our website by clicking the orange "Help Me" button on the bottom right of your screen. Their hours are Monday through Friday, 8AM to 7PM Eastern, but you'll be able to leave a voicemail or send your chat message as an e-mail if you reach out after hours. The folks at the Help Desk are wonderful at getting back to you within a business day or two.

Let me know if there is anything else I can assist with or if you have any questions.

Thank you,

Nichole
