July 2008 — Family caregivers connecting directly with other family caregivers is the core of NFCA's National Story Project and Pen Pal Program. Now you can reach out to others living with similar situations that you face every day. How are other family caregivers dealing with the highs and lows of caregiving? Find your family caregiver pen pal and start realizing the many ways you can help each other.

The Story Project lets you speak up and share your story which can help to reduce feelings of isolation and relieve some of the emotions you may have inside. It is also a great way to help bring about the changes, which are needed to make the lives of caregiving families much easier. Share your story and read other family caregiver stories and find your family caregiver pen pal to start connecting with each other.

Due to the busy schedules of family caregivers, NFCA cannot guarantee they will respond. NFCA hopes this opens up wonderful new opportunities for connecting family caregivers.
