The VA recently launched a virtual program to pilot mental health services for caregivers enrolled in the Program of Comprehensive Assistance for Family Caregivers (PCAFC). This program will provide much needed resources, tools and support for caregivers while they care for our nations’ heroes.
The clinical resource hub will focus on the unique mental health needs of caregivers through evidence-based therapeutic modalities with services centered around couples, family therapy, and the individual needs of the caregiver.
“This program is a significant step forward in addressing the mental health needs of caregivers enrolled in PCAFC,” said Dr. Colleen Richardson, executive director of the Caregiver Support Program (CSP).” Through these virtual clinical resource hubs, CSP will provide the mental health resources our nation’s Caregivers and their Veterans need through counseling and support.
