A military caregiver is a family member, friend, or acquaintance who provides a broad range of care and assistance for, or manages the care of, a current or former military service member with a disabling physical or mental injury or illness. Military caregivers are the backbone of their families; facilitating whole health and wellbeing for veterans, military and even others in the community. There are a total of 5.5 million caregivers caring for former or current military personnel in the U.S. Nine in 10 (96%) caregivers of veterans are female and 70% provide care to their spouse or partner. Eighty-eight percent report increased stress or anxiety as a result of caregiving, and 77% state sleep deprivation is an issue. A key recommendation from the 2014 RAND “Hidden Heroes: America’s Military Caregivers” report highlights that efforts are needed to help empower military caregivers. Those efforts should include ways to build their skills and confidence in caregiving, mitigate the potential stress and strain of caregiving, and raise public awareness of the caregiver’s value. In that light, Give an Hour® and the Elizabeth Dole Foundation partnered to provide a brief overview of best practices in providing mental health care to America’s Hidden Heroes. By creating an understanding of the unique challenges of the military caregiver experience and the Military and Caregiver Experience Map, we hope that this guide can help nonprofits, support organizations and mental health providers raise public awareness and provide adequate services to caregivers.
