National Family Caregivers Month

November is National Family Caregivers month! Caregivers of veterans and families provide health and social needs and emotional support. Their assistance affects the quality of life of those for whom they serve. While caregiving can bring satisfaction, it can also be demanding. There are resources designed to help caregivers. Check out some of them, offered by the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs, below.
