17 Military Caregiver Support Objectives Describe why support for military caregivers is a national concern, and identify key challenges that military caregivers face when caring for their wounded, ill, and injured service members. Describe how the Military Caregiver PEER Forum Initiative is designed to address the challenges that military caregivers face on a daily basis. Describe how, in your role as an RCC, you are connected and can provide additional support to military caregivers. Identify available resources that address a plethora of military caregiver needs 17
18 RAND Study on Caregivers RAND released the most comprehensive study of America's Military caregivers to date. Sponsored by the Elizabeth Dole Foundation, the report quantifies military caregiving in the United States, including how it affects individuals, their families, and society. 18
19 RAND Study: Key Findings There are an estimated 5.5 million military caregivers in the United States. Of these, 1.1 million are caring for post-9/11 Veterans. Post-9/11 military caregivers tend to be younger, caring for a younger individual with a mental health or substance use condition, employed, and not connected to a support network. Military caregivers consistently experience worse health outcomes, greater strains in family relationships, and more workplace problems than noncaregivers, and post-9/11 military caregivers fare worst in these areas. Twelve percent of post 9/11 military caregivers and 10 percent of pre 9/11 military caregivers reported spending more than 40 hours per week providing care. 19

21 Military Caregiver PEER Forums The Military Caregiver PEER (Personalized, Experiences, Engagement and Resources) Forum Initiative established military caregiver forums at designated installations across the United States. These forums provide caregivers the following outcomes: Military Caregiver centric training and delivery o Content created based on the real-life experiences of caregivers and delivered by caregivers. Military Caregiver focused communication and information strategy o Caregiver communication and information is supported through the initiative and reaches more caregivers than the traditional outreach methods. Military Caregiver inclusiveness o Caregivers given an opportunity to interact directly with their peers, thus, reducing feelings of isolation by supportive forums. 21
22 Military and Family Life Counselors (MFLCs) 22
23 Who are PEER Support Coordinators? PEER Support Coordinators (PSCs) are individuals that are deployed to 10 geographical regions to provide regionalized support to military caregivers and caregiver stakeholders. PSCs assist in convening Military Caregiver PEER Forums, conduct outreach activities to caregivers, identify & report on gaps in support, assist in locating & providing information on military caregiver- support services, and act as the military caregivers point of contact for his/her region. 23
