In 2004 I joined the board of Caring Today Magazine, a new magazine for caregivers of elderly relatives. I am very excited about the magazine and am writing articles for it. It allows me to use my personal experience as a caregiver for my mother who has Alzheimer’s disease as well as my professional experience to help other caregivers. The magazine was launched in November of 2004 and offers, "practical information, advice and tips from both experts and peers. It’s a 'place' for the necessary resources and help you may need to successfully keep your life in balance and provide the best care possible for your loved ones."-www.caringtoday.com, 1-800-480-4851.
Here is a list of my published articles in Caring Today:
"Support Groups: A Special Kind of Help offered to Caregivers - by Caregivers" Winter 2004
"The Three Stages of Caregiving" Spring 2005
"Support Groups Reaching a Higher Level of Emotional Risk and Self-Reflection" Summer 2005
"Miracle on 43rd Street" Jan/Feb 2006
"Oh,Those Breast Friends! Instead of letting cancer get them down, these remarkable women have turned life right-side up." March/April 2006
"Are You a Caregiver?" September/October 2006
I wrote an article for the National Association of Social Workers, New York City chapter newsletter called Currents on how companies are responding to the needs of working caregivers. The article is called “Companies Recognize the Growing Needs of Caregivers in the Workforce” and can be found in the January 2005 issue, volume 49/No. 4.
