Session 3 – Strengthening Community Supports and Promoting Financial Wellness for Military and Veteran Caregivers

Thursday, February 9, 2023, 2:00-3:30 p.m. ET

Learning Objectives

Illustrate how states and communities can come together to support military and Veteran caregivers
Highlight the challenges caregivers face related to financial wellness and the resources available to help

Presenter

Shawn Moore, L.M.S.W., Founder, Executive Director, Caregivers on the Homefront; Program Manager, Financial Wellness, Elizabeth Dole Foundation

With 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.

This 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.

The 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.

PAUSE Community Circle
2023-02-11
PAUSE (People Addressing and Understanding Suicide Experiences) is a global movement founded on a growing awareness that the current state of suicide prevention science has been inadequate in addressing and understanding the complexity of suicide.

PAUSE Community Circles create safe, supportive spaces to delve into the complexity of suicide. Three Community Circles are offered on February 11th. Each will be 90 minutes in length. Using portions of the PAUSE Declaration as a starting framework, individuals will be invited to share their experiences and ideas, while listening to and learning from each other.
Session times:
8:00 AM – 9:30 AM EST
2:00 PM – 3:30 PM EST
8:00 PM – 9:30 PM EST

Pittsburgh-Area Veteran Town Hall on the PACT Act
2023-04-04 17:00 - 20:00
DMVA Announces Pittsburgh-Area Veteran Town Hall Providing Information to Veterans on the PACT Act
Annville, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Military and Veterans Affairs (DMVA) will hold an in-person Veteran Town Hall on the Promise to Address Comprehensive Toxics (PACT) Act on April 4, 2023, from 6-8 p.m. at the West View VFW Post 2754, 386 Perry Highway, Pittsburgh, PA 15229. The town hall will also be available by phone to increase accessibility for Pennsylvania’s more than 700,000 veterans – the fourth largest veteran population in the nation.
The new federal PACT Act law expands VA health care and benefits for veterans exposed to burn pits, Agent Orange, and other toxic substances. The town hall will provide veterans and their advocates with a convenient platform to learn and ask questions about eligibility and applying for benefits related to the PACT Act.
“The PACT Act has expanded benefits to thousands of veterans throughout Pennsylvania who were exposed to toxic substances during their military service,” said Maj. Gen. Mark Schindler, Pennsylvania’s acting adjutant general and head of the DMVA. “Many veterans don’t know they may be eligible for these additional benefits, so we are making the PACT Act a primary focus this year. Our goal is to raise awareness, answer questions, and connect as many veterans as possible to the benefits they have earned.”
In-person attendees are also invited to arrive early to enjoy a dedicated resource fair from 5-6 p.m.
Featured presenters for this event will be Chip Gilliland, DMVA’s chief of the Division of Reintegration and Outreach; and Jennifer Vandermolen, director of the Pittsburgh VA Regional Office.
In-person town hall attendees are asked to register prior to the event by calling 717-644-3890. Anyone joining the town hall by phone should call 267-332-8737 and enter Conference ID: 989503340# to participate. Both in-person attendees and callers will be able to ask questions during the town hall. Media are permitted to attend.
