2019 End of Year Accomplishments & Appeal
November/December 2019
Dear Share The Care™ Community,
Whew, we had another momentous year! Working diligently, we spoke with a number of hospitals to demonstrate how STC can support and strengthen discharge planning to ease the transition from hospital to home for the patient and their caregiver and reduce hospital re-admissions and caregiver stress and burnout. We are scheduled to continue our discussions with two large hospital systems before year’s end and I hope to report great progress on this front in 2020. Additionally, we presented at quite a number of prestigious conferences. (see highlights below).
This year we made significant strides working with AARP’s Purpose Prize Support Team. We benefited immeasurably from their invaluable coaching, contacts and information to create a powerful prospectus. We’re also now poised to be a part of AARP’s Caregiver social media efforts and state speakers’ bureau in 2020.
We have come a very long way since starting the organization 16 years ago. Today we boast a powerful mission backed by the second edition of our book, a grassroots evidence-informed model built on a philosophy secured by solid principles and systems for sharing responsibilities for people of all ages with varying health concerns or challenges at any stage of the full life cycle. And we have a carefully crafted, highly regarded accredited professional training program, which has already been delivered around the US and S.W. Ontario. Today, we estimate STC has touched at least half a million people in 49 states, 2 territories and 19 countries.
To ensure we maximize this momentum and take advantage of the exciting opportunities for growth, we need your support. Our priority is the need to rebuild our infrastructure, as it is the primary way STC informs and educates as well as receives donations. While society is increasingly aware that we need effective solutions to meet the ever increasing shortage of professional and paraprofessional caregivers, and the ever increasing burden on family caregivers, funding often goes elsewhere, such as to large, disease-specific organizations.
So please, help us provide a better quality of life for the patient and to reduce the stress, isolation, depression and economic hardship of their caregiver and families by teaching the benefits of teamwork.
YOUR SUPPORT IS CRITICAL. Make a tax-deductible donation of $100, $500, $1,000 or $5,000 now and support having a ready-made plan to organize and sustain a group to help care for one’s loved one.

2019 ACCOMPLISHMENTS

2018 End of Year Accomplishments & Appeal
November/December 2018
Dear Share The Care™ Supporters,
In 2018, we put the pedal to the metal, attending or speaking at a number of important conferences, leading a STC training and participating at a summit focused on respite for caregivers. All of these events recognized what we have been broadcasting for years, the coming 2030 aging crisis–a time when there will not be enough health professionals or people to take on the care of 71 million boomers over 65, many of whom will need support.
During the year, we identified an immediate phenomenon where STC can provide help: during the patient’s transition from hospital to home. Here the care team, and not just the family caregiver, can be instructed on how to care for the loved one to avoid hospital re-admission, an all too common occurrence in the face of caregiver stress, burnout or social isolation due to lack of support. Many hospitals have “People”- Centered Care Programs, a natural fit for STC to be introduced at discharge, or during hospital support groups after receiving a difficult diagnosis.
We will add this focus to our work in the coming year as we continue to introduce STC to the friends, neighbors, and faith communities where many seek help, assist working caregivers who find themselves overwhelmed as they juggle their caregiving duties with their jobs and family responsibilities, strive to incorporate STC into the curriculum for social work and nursing, and work to offer a Spanish edition of STC.
Your Support Has Never Been More Critical.  We have our work cut out for the coming year and far beyond. To accomplish any of this and ultimately make “Let’s Start an STC Group” the household refrain when faced with a family caregiving medical or aging crisis, please donate to ShareTheCaregiving with a meaningful tax-deductible donation of $100, $500 or $1,000 now. Perhaps you’ve just become a family caregiver or were helped by an STC group, regardless, please reflect on the value of having a ready-made plan to organize and sustain a group to help you care for your loved one.

We want to share two videos that Phyllis Quinlan, PhD, RN-BC and I (Sheila) did recently at the Planetree Conference in Boston, thanks to Kistein Monkhouse, MPA – PatientOrator.
What makes them special is that we cover the Share The Care model from different perspectives: the layperson who lived and helped create it and the professional who understands its true value for hospital person-centered care programs.
