Hello. Anyone aware of safe and secure sites for online social interaction with other mature adults? I am a caregiver for a son with special needs, work full time remotely, and therefore am quite isolated. I have tried pen pal forums without success. Scammers abound. Not interested in dating but would be interested in forming new friendships. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you!

    📎  [Friday 3/7/25] Hi Kathleen @KathleenK755349 , this Caregiving Forum no longer has alot of activity. But the AARP Facebook Caregiving Group is VERY ACTIVE!!!  👍

     

    AARP CAREGIVING FACEBOOK GROUP INFORMATION!!!

     

    Lots of questions and a lot of almost immediate responses will come your way! I moderate the group and @JaneCares helps too with admin duties as well as an AARP colleague, Jen. So between us and the 21,000 family caregivers you get lots of quick responses - it's a nice complement to this online community! Hope to see you there 🙂

    Take care,

      Hi Kathleen.  I'm also interested in finding a discussion forum where I can make some online friends (not boyfriends).   I've also tried penpal sites and had the same problems.  I was hoping that this forum would have some nice people to talk to.  I'm not currently a caregiver, but I have a lot of people with special needs in my family.
