National Family Caregivers Month

Happy National Family Caregivers Month (NFCM)!

As caregivers of Veterans, you make immeasurable sacrifices to care for our Nation’s heroes. The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Caregiver Support Program (CSP) thanks you for all you do and for who you are.

Watch this special NFCM message to Veterans’ caregivers from CSP’s Executive Director, Dr. Colleen M. Richardson.

#CaregiverAnd

CSP understands that there are many components that make caregivers who they are. In alignment with the Caregiver ActionNetwork, this year’s NFCM theme is #CaregiverAnd. This theme aims to encourage you, our caregivers, to embrace your sense of self, including your identities outside of being caregivers.

Celebrate NFCM with an event near you!

This theme aims to encourage you, our caregivers, to embrace your sense of self, including your identities outside of being caregivers.

In recognition of NFCM, and as a small token of CSP’s appreciation, we’re launching a nation-wide, month-long celebration that includes a variety of fun events, classes, and networking opportunities at local VA facilities across the country. No matter where you are, your local CSP team has an NFCM event planned just for you. Finding an event near you is easy:
