STAUNTON, Va. - Virginir -- As we honor military veterans on November 11th, National Family Caregivers Month in November also allows us to recognize the contributions of the 5.5 million caregivers who are supporting veterans that are experiencing disabilities, mental health challenges, or life stressors stemming from their time in service.
In 2018, 3.7 million veterans reported having a mental wellness issue or substance use disorder, and currently, 2.4 million veterans receive assistance from caregivers.
Caregivers of military families report struggling with mental wellness at a higher rate than non-caregivers and are at a higher risk of developing depression or anxiety.
Important resources to reference and attend throughout the month include:
Wednesday, November 10th, 2021 from 10 AM to 12 PM.

A caregiver can be a parent, spouse, child, family member, or an individual who lives with the veteran. If you are a caregiver, with the right tools and resources, you can provide the proper care, while also taking care of yourself.
