Caregivers play a crucial role in supporting disabled veterans, and the DAV Caregivers Support program aims to provide them with essential resources. Since its launch in October 2023, thousands have enrolled, but many more caregivers need to take advantage of this opportunity. The program offers a tailored resource plan that evolves with individual needs, ensuring caregivers have consistent support from a trained specialist throughout their journey.
Caregivers can connect with resources and receive assistance without the burden of repeated explanations, allowing them more time for their caregiving duties. Additionally, enrollees gain access to a peer support Facebook page, where they can share experiences and insights with others in similar situations. The program is free and open to all, regardless of DAV membership.
Signing up is straightforward: interested caregivers should visit davcaregivers.org, create an account, and answer a few questions about their caregiving role. A support specialist will then reach out to assist. The program encourages caregivers to spread the word, ensuring more veterans and their caregivers benefit from this vital support system.
