Operation Family Caregiver

Operation Family Caregiver is a free program for anyone caring for a family member or friend with an injury due to military. It includes both visible and invisible injuries, such as post-traumatic stress, major depression, or a traumatic brain injury. This program is unique in that it is directed to the needs and challenges of the caregiver rather than the service member. Our coaches meet face-to-face with the caregiver, in person or via Skype. The caregiver identifies a problem, and they work together to solve it positively. Through visits, phone calls, and other support, caregivers develop new problem-solving techniques they can refer to down the road. The program has been proven to work, resulting in strong and healthier families. Caregivers are less depressed and healthier, and children are less anxious. OFC also serves caregivers of those who served in earlier wars who are suffering from PTSD.
