At the Elizabeth Dole Foundation our goal is to provide you with the tools and knowledge you need to enhance your caregiving journey.
Resource Navigation
Our Resource Navigation program offers personalized one-on-one assistance specifically designed for Military and Veteran caregivers. We are committed to helping with a wide range of complex needs, from accessing mental health services, food insecurity, and employment to navigating VA benefits, seeking educational opportunities, and homelessness. Our approach is to partner closely with our caregivers, ensuring we walk alongside them every step of the way to meet their immediate and long-term needs. Even after these needs have been met, our support continues.
Caregiver Journey Map
Navigating your caregiving journey can be overwhelming. The Caregiver Journey map offers a step-by-step guide of what you can expect at different stages of caregiving.
Mental Wellness Framework
This first-of-its-kind resource provides a foundation for recognizing the importance of your mental wellness and ways to support your mental wellness journey. Created for caregivers, by caregivers who share your experiences and recognize the importance of reflection, connection, and resources.
Family Resource Hub
There are many organizations throughout the country that offer assistance to military caregivers and their families, but navigating the vast networks of organizations and agencies can be difficult.
Our directory contains carefully vetted organizations and agencies dedicated to aiding military caregivers and their families. Use the filters to pinpoint resources that address challenges specific to your situation.
Kids & Youth
Children, youth, and young adults (up to age 18) who are impacted or involved in the mental, emotional, or physical care of a wounded, ill, or aging service member or veteran need support too.
Financial Wellness
Planning for the future as a caregiver can be challenging. We’ve joined with FreeWill to bring military and veteran caregivers a free resource to create your own will online.
Webinars
The Elizabeth Dole Foundation knows how hard it can be to prioritize your mental and physical health as a caregiver. From yoga to healthy lifestyle tips, we provide resources that fit your caregiving lifestyle.
Respite
Take the break you deserve. Respite gives you an opportunity to focus on yourself. If you are caring for a spouse, child, parent, friend, or other loved one, respite relief is for you.
