Are you a caregiver?

Courses for Military Veteran Caregivers & Families

Did you know that the United States is home to more than 5.5 million military caregivers? Sponsored by The USAA Foundation, Psycharmor® Institute offers courses to help caregivers balance their caretaking duties and their need for self-care. Beginning with the “Am I A Caregiver” course, caregivers learn that these “extra chores” they have taken on to provide support for their Veteran actually makes them a caregiver. These 40 caregiver courses provide information and strategies about how to manage the demands and stressors of caregiving. The courses also offer multiple resources that can assist you in your caregiving experience.
