On the third Thursday of every month at 4 p.m. ET, Leslie Cottrell Simonds will lead a caregiving chat on our Facebook fan page. We begin the monthly caregiving chat on Thursday, June 16.

This month, Leslie will lead a discussion about the patience required during a caregiving experience. How do you handle your caree's challenging behaviors without losing patience? How do you keep calm when a family member drives you nuts?

Leslie, one of our Certified Caregiving Consultants™, cares for her mom and also moderates our weekly Working and Caregiving chat on Caregiving.com. You can connect with Leslie on her profile page, @leslie, and on her website, TheVisionaryPassage.com.

To participate in the conversation, just head to our Facebook fan page (Caregiving Support) and look for the post, "How do keep your patience?" Share stories, suggestions and insights as a comment on that post. Thursday's conversation will begin at 4 p.m. ET (3 p.m. CT, 2 p.m. PT, 1 p.m. PT). (Be sure to like our page if you haven't already.)

See you on Thursday on Facebook!
