Care for the caregiver | Mental Health America
There are 91.3 million caregivers across the U.S., and of those, 14.3 million are caring for a wounded, ill, or injured service member or veteran. These military and veteran caregivers are the spouses, partners, parents, family members, friends, neighbors, and loved ones who provide countless hours of often unseen and unpaid care to their care recipient. Many have sacrificed their careers, education, and health to prioritize the needs of their loved ones.
