S1E3: Virtual Psychotherapy Program for Caregivers (VPPC)

S1E7: Partners in Care

This month’s Caregiver-2-Go podcast theme is Partners in Care, a topic so important to the overall mental and physical health of both the caregiver and Veteran. We are talking about a successful and engaged partnership with your Veteran’s health care team. The resources and guidance discussed will lead to peace of mind for caregivers and better outcomes for the Veteran they love and care for.

S1E6: Dementia

This month’s Caregiver-2-Go podcast theme is caregiving for Veterans with Dementia. This disease affects how a person functions and communicates – the Veteran’s daily needs, abilities and behavior will change over time. Consequently, caregivers will experience a wide range of emotions from anger to sadness, and even fear. We have your back and will work through this topic with professional guidance, love, and compassion.

S1E5: Health & Well-being

This month’s Caregiver-2-Go podcast theme is so important: health and well-being coaching for caregivers. Caregivers tend to put their own needs last, leading to burnout and depression. This coaching puts them back in the center and teaches them to re-evaluate what’s important to them and how to find joy again. We'll hear from a caregiver who almost lost her life not listening to her body and her own needs. Please join us as we explore this topic, its impact and its message of hope.

S1E4: Loneliness and Isolation

This month’s Caregiver-2-Go podcast focuses on Caregiver loneliness and Isolation. This time of year, can be challenging with expectations and the added pressures of the holiday season. Feelings of grief and loss, and thoughts of the way things used to be can be overwhelming. Please know there are resources for caregivers. We talk with two VA social workers who’s mission is to ensure caregivers feel heard and supported.

S1E3: Virtual Psychotherapy Program for Caregivers (VPPC)

This month’s Caregiver-2-Go podcast focuses on the Virtual Psychotherapy Program for caregivers. Caregivers know of the physical toll it can take on their bodies, but they may forget about their spiritual and emotional needs. Caregiving can be mentally draining too as caregivers continue to just “tough it out” because they believe they have no other options. VPPC has become a lifeline for these caregivers offering an ear, professional support and resources for caregivers committed to around the clock care for their Veterans. We talk with two of those VA lifelines, who are deeply passionate about their work, and this program.
