Connect2Caregivers is a unique kind of peer-to-peer support. By answering some questions about yourself, your caregiving role, and your preferences, we identify other dementia caregivers for you to consider connecting with. The hope is that you find one, or a few, current or former dementia caregivers for peer-to-peer support.
To get started, just answer a few questions to create your profile. Some questions are about what type of person you would prefer to be matched with. Other questions are about you and your current caregiving situation. Creating a basic profile only takes 15-30 minutes. You also have the option to answer some additional questions to help other caregivers get to know you.
Connect2Caregivers uses your preferences and information to match you with a few other caregivers. Once that happens, typically within 4 weeks, you will receive an email so you can view the other caregivers’ profiles and they can view yours. You can also exchange messages on our secure website.
If you decide that you would like to stay in touch, you are free to exchange contact information or meet in person. Connect2Caregivers will never share your personal contact information with anyone else – only you can make that decision.
