The Power of Knowing
Veteran Caregiver Support and Resources
Thursday, November 2 | 12 – 1:00 p.m.
Understanding comes from knowing. Each veteran and their caregivers deserve to receive the full benefits and resources available to them. Often caregivers are not aware of all of the services available and how to access them. Power comes from knowing and this webinar will focus on caregiver support and resources to ensure each veteran family is well-informed and well-served when care is needed.
Learning Objectives
• Learn about the veteran caregiver support programs, including who is eligible to receive services.
• Learn about services that are available to caregivers of veterans and how to apply for them.
• Learn about resources and support for veterans and caregivers who are receiving hospice care.
