CarersConnectInt.com is a Website developed by a Carer for Carers: no doubt you have already visited our Home Page and know a little bit about us already. But just in case you missed it – my name is Elaine Callaghan, and I am the Founder of CarersConnectInt.com; I have been Caring for a Family Member now for several years and during this time I have found it both rewarding on the one hand and at times, exasperating on the other.

Throughout my role as a Carer, I have found the most invaluable support has come from sharing and exchanging my problems with other Carers; we have been there, done that, and worn the T-Shirt!  WE often know the pitfalls, and more experienced Carers (the ones who have been caring for several years) have a wealth of Advice and Support to share.

This is the very philosophy on which this Website is based: Carersconnectint.com is designed to offer SUPPORT, FRIENDSHIP and UNDERSTANDING to Carers on a Global Scale.  No matter what Country you live in, you will be able to link up with Carers all over the World and find the Friendship and Support that WE so desperately need.

So, when you get a spare 10 minutes, (I know chance would be a fine thing I hear you say) search away and take a look. If I have successfully achieved my aim so far, the web site will make you smile and brighten your day. I particularly wanted to cheer US up and offer something very different to what is currently out there: take a peak at our Story of the Month, (where Carers get a chance to share their particular experiences). Glance at our Coping Strategies and Carers Top 10 Tips and if you fancy it, sign up for our Monthly Newsletter, which will highlight Carers concerns and Topics of interest.

Well, you're already logged on, so why not Sign Up and become a Member – what have you got to lose? And as the Founder of CarersConnectInt.com, REMEMBER, there is no need to be alone and isolated anymore.

I look forward, very much, to getting to know you all soon.

Best Wishes
