You might laugh together, cry together, or just grab a coffee or some beers and, well, shoot the shit.
Have one-on-one conversations in comfortable places.
Guys need to be able to hang out with other guys who understand what they are going through. Jacks (Guys who have or are currently caring for something facing a health crisis) need to connect with other Jacks.
Jack’s Caregiver Coalition is not a matchmaker for Jacks. We’ve simply created a process that allows the participants to learn about and connect with each other. We make no guarantee that the connections made will have the results our participants are hoping for, but in our experience, total strangers meeting who have a shared caregiving experience often have conversations that significantly improve the way they think, feel, and act through every phase of their caregiving journey.
