Online Community
Have you surrendered to the tyranny of need?
Are you depleted of energy and stooped by guilt?
It’s time to care for your own needs,
become effective and efficient.
If you look after the needs of clients or family members for the majority of your working hours, this is for you.
Let’s look out for each other and learn to better care for ourselves and better care for others.
This community consists of professional and informal carers, as well as directors of care.
What would be helpful for us to know about you?
Present: What are the main needs of the person/people you care for? If you like, mention one area of joy and one area of current concern regarding you and your role.
Past: For how long have you been spending the majority of your working hours caring for others?
Future: What must change in order for you to increase your joy and effectiveness?
We will contact you and clarify what info you are comfortable to share publicly with others and what not.
Interested?
If you consider becoming a member and together with us create a caring community for carers we would love to hear from you.
Guiding principles for building a vibrant community:
- Positive Atmosphere: Make people feel welcome: have a genuine desire to see others succeed. Be quick to praise, celebrate growth, cut the criticism. Send emojis, GIFs, build safety and kindness.
- Active Participation: Members share their knowledge, offer help and anticipating needs.
- Collaboration & Value: Pooling resources, creating something bigger, and getting tips/advice on personal growth and professional resources.
- Strong Leadership: Moderators and members act as facilitators to guide new members.
- Clear Rules: Respect, not dwelling on the negative. Relevance, and privacy.
