Dear Share The Caregivers and Supporters,
A 3rd Edition of Share The Care could happen next year!
I am in discussions with Simon and Schuster (Touchstone) about revisions, updates and new material developed to support STC groups who work with caregivers of patients with Alzheimer’s disease or other dementia that could make a 3rd edition of STC even more extraordinary. Publicity around a 3rd edition would attract new caregivers and especially younger people, who suddenly find themselves facing the need to care for a parent or grandparent, to STC a model that has sustained the test of time.
In 1995, STC was the first group caregiving guidebook and brought much needed attention to the extreme stresses associated with caregiving and offered a way for others to lighten the massive workload and emotional strain on caregivers they know. Our grassroots model caught on like wildfire and spread rapidly by word of mouth across the US and beyond. Today, STC is evidence-informed and used in 25 countries.
Over the years, we have made advancements by promoting and teaching the model to health professionals so they can introduce it to their patients and families in need of support. We have even envisioned a way for STC to help hospitals reduce patient readmissions. Our search for opportunities to teach the model at schools of nursing and social work, community colleges and even high schools is ongoing.
As you can imagine, your support has never been more crucial at this crossroad. Share The Care can flourish with a new edition and the publicity that goes with it. At the same time, we remain in need of operating support to stay current.
