A Voice for Long Distance Caregivers

Caring from a Distance (CFAD) (http://www.cfad.org) is the nation's first non-profit organization devoted to using both the rich tools of the internet and social networking platforms to help support an estimated population of 6.9 million long distance caregivers. http://www.cfad.org launched in 2006 as a free, comprehensive resource for caregivers --- those in crisis, and those managing longstanding conditions. Founded, funded and staffed by individuals who experienced these challenges, our goal is to provide a gateway for site visitors to the wide spectrum of legal, financial, health and community services, tools, resources and information. This one-stop approach tries to link problems to solutions so users can zero in on available options and next steps.
