Looking for Chicago based advocates for diabetes or dementia patients

I am reaching out to Chicago-based advocates on behalf of our team. We recently had individuals contact us who are seeking advocacy support in the Chicago area, and I was wondering if you might be interested in discussing potential collaboration. We would love to learn more about your background and the ways you support clients.

Currently, we are looking for advocacy support in two specific areas:

*Dementia Care

*Diabetes Management

If you are open to taking on either (or both) of these cases, I would welcome the opportunity to connect and discuss the details further.

Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to hearing from you.

Best regards,

Xena Wolfe

PS: I cannot move this post into 'advocate referral needed' for you because you've not finished getting your GNA profile approved. You cannot access that space until you've been through our required informational or 'onboarding' meeting.

ths post is visible to ALL readers because I cannot move it into that secured space that is availble only to vetted advocates. just fyi.

(Ill message you again about reschduling now. hope to see you soon!)

Hi Xena! I don't do ongoing management for clients, so it sounds like the diabetes situation may not be a fit unless they are looking for help sourcing services, etc. I would say the same would be true for dementia, but it is hard to say without knowing more details about their current needs and what they have done up until this point. Are they connected with any Chicagoland services related to diabetes and/or dementia yet?

Hello, I have experience with diabetes and dementia and I work with people virtually. I do free 30 minute Discovery calls. I am not located near Chicago however meeting over Zoom works well for a lot of people. Please reach out if I can help. Thank you, Sue Adair.

Hi Xena,

Thanks for reaching out! I live in a northern suburb of Chicago and have extensive experience with Diabetes Management.

I offer a 10-minute complimentary consultation to clients and work both in person and virtually. I'd love to discuss more to determine if I'm a good fit for collaborating with you and your client.

I'm getting married in 2 weeks and will be available to take on new clients after 9/7.

Meanwhile, I hope you find some great advocates who can help!
