Caregiver Mental Wellness

Mental Wellness Framework

Mental Wellness Workshops

The Caregiver Mental Wellness Workshop is a 6-week virtual program for military and veteran caregivers to come together in a safe and structured space to reflect on your mental wellness experience.

The workshops provide caregivers with:

• A place to receive and provide support with your peers,
• ways to identify and improve current coping strategies,
• knowledge of resources,
• tools to develop an understanding of how to practice self-care.

The facilitators were really good about making sure everyone spoke up and was heard. It was also taught in such a way that it really made me think about myself and my mental wellness. Honestly, I’ve never given it much thought as it seems I’m always busy doing something or another. I almost didn’t sign up for the workshop but decided I wanted to hear what was being offered and I’m so glad I did. I’m still thinking and digesting the workshop in my mind and slowly realizing how I can do more for myself without sacrificing the care he gets.
