| Content and framework conditions of the project work | |||||||||
| The initiative was founded in: 1995 | |||||||||
| The initiative was founded
because of the following reasons: A lobby for older women with heavy family commitments scarcely existed. Thus the need to create a self-help group. |
|||||||||
| Target group(s): | Nursing relations | ||||||||
| Targets: | We are a self-help initiative consisting of women who look after family relatives. We aim to ensure a regular exchange of information among members of the initiative, to conduct lobbying, and also to provide emotional relief, as well as practical short-term relief, for nursing relatives. | ||||||||
| Details of the work done by
the initiative: We organise practical everyday help for nursing relations, conduct information events, offer relaxing leisure-time activities, organise discussion groups, etc. The self-help group meets once or twice a month. |

| Success that the initiative has achieved: | |||||||||
| Problems that the
initiative has been faced during its work: As a lobby for "nursing relations" on a regional and local level, we are always struggling for financial support. Publicity work is difficult. |
|||||||||
| Participation of the target
group concerning the conception, planning and implementation of the initiative's work: The target group, the nursing relatives, do all the organising themselves: they prepare and run the meetings, events, etc. themselves. |
|||||||||
| Co-operation: Since 1995 we have been co-operating with the Selbsthilfe- und Informationsstelle Berlin (SEKIS - Berlin Self-help and Information Centre). |
|||||||||
| Information: We are available for people interested in receiving more information on our initiative by phone, post or e-mail. |
