SUMMARY:How States and Communities Can Better Support Military and Veteran Caregivers
DESCRIPTION:Three-part Series: December 13\, 2022; January 12\, 2023; February 9\, 2023Time: 2:00–3:30 p.m. ET \nRegister Online \nPart 3: February 9\, 2023 \n\nSession 3 – Strengthening Community Supports and Promoting Financial Wellness for Military and Veteran Caregivers\n\nThursday\, February 9\, 2023\, 2:00-3:30 p.m. ET \n\nLearning Objectives\n\nIllustrate how states and communities can come together to support military and Veteran caregivers\nHighlight the challenges caregivers face related to financial wellness and the resources available to help\n\nPresenter\n\nShawn Moore\, L.M.S.W.\, Founder\, Executive Director\, Caregivers on the Homefront; Program Manager\, Financial Wellness\, Elizabeth Dole Foundation\n\n\n\n\nWith over 5.5 million military and Veteran caregivers in the United States\, the implementation of the newly released National Strategy to Support Family Caregivers is a critical step forward for those caring for our Nation’s wounded\, ill\, and injured service members and Veterans. Caregivers consistently experience worse health outcomes\, greater challenges in family relationships\, and increased difficulties in the workplace than non-caregivers. Military and Veteran caregivers are unique in that they tend to be younger and serve in caregiver roles longer than their civilian counterparts. \n\n\nThis learning community will provide participants an opportunity to learn in a small group and interactive setting. The objectives of this learning community are to (1) Discover a framework for supporting military and Veteran caregivers\, (2) Examine how both paid and informal caregivers can be recognized and valued in the continuum of care\, and (3) Identify resources available that are specifically tailored for military and Veteran caregivers. \n\n\nThe learning community will meet monthly for three sessions beginning in December 2022 via Zoom. Each session will feature an expert presentation with engaging group discussion incorporated throughout.
