My Care Friends

Our mission is three-fold: 1) To provide online and offline educational programs and resources, which put forth relevant and robust content that give stakeholders across the caregiving spectrum (family and professional caregivers, advocates, and healthcare professionals) the knowledge and know-how to be more effective in their roles. 2) To enable caregivers and patient advocates to easily and meaningfully connect in a safe online community, with others in similar roles — so they are “seen”, “heard”, and “understood.” Whether communicating about caregiving, patient advocacy, or personal interest topics, My Care Friends provides many ways for community members to Connect, Share, and Support each other. 3) To bring about greater awareness on local, regional, and national levels, of the need for significantly increased support of caregivers in light of the growing shortage of caregivers. The stress of which causes an exponential financial, physical, emotional, and psychological strain on individuals and families.
