Later on she became the primary caregiver for her father, along with her mother who had become critically ill from burnout prior to her dad\u2019s passing. In recent years, she cared for several friends with AIDS while continuing to care for her mother and actively providing support, information, referrals and resources for caregivers.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Gail's leadership on the Internet and her success with Empowering Caregivers led her to found National Organization For Empowering Caregivers (NOFEC) INC in 2001.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Prior to founding NOFEC, she created the iVillageHealth Chat: Empowering Caregivers, which she hosted for over 5 years. Within a month of hosting she created Empowering Caregivers: www.care-givers.com in 1999 as a resource for     caregivers around the globe. Over three million visitors have frequented the website.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>She has presented at national and international care-related conferences and programs and has been a keynote speaker for many programs as well.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Ms Mitchell has assisted thousands of caregivers online and offline in ways to empower themselves in their roles in caring for loved ones.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>For a list of clients and\/or her resume, please contact <a href=\"mailto:info@care-givers.com\">info@care-givers.com<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Gail's articles have been published in many venues nationally and in Canada. Presently, she is a member of American Society on Aging and National Quality Caregivers Coalition.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Gail has discovered that there is life after caregiving: She has become a successful ceramic artist and installation\r\n    artist. She created Crystal Illumination Art to bring the transformative quality of illumination, light and color to\r\n    the human experience and celebrate its ability to inspire, heal and nourish our physical, mental, emotional and\r\n    spiritual well being.<\/p>"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/care-givers.com\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/571","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/care-givers.com\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/care-givers.com\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/care-givers.com\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/care-givers.com\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=571"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/care-givers.com\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/571\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5205,"href":"https:\/\/care-givers.com\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/571\/revisions\/5205"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/care-givers.com\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=571"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/care-givers.com\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=571"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/care-givers.com\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=571"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/care-givers.com\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ppma_author?post=571"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
