One-On-One Caregiver Coaching
Operation Family Caregiver
Operation Family Caregiver (OFC) is an evidence-based, one-on-one coaching program serving family and friends who are caring for post-9/11 service members and veterans. Coaches work with caregivers over a series of eight sessions, teaching skills tailored to each caregiver’s unique needs, including problem-solving, self-care, stress management, and safety.
Caregivers are paired with specially trained caregiver coaches, and together develop strategies that can help them get through the tough times and make plans for how to manage over the long term. They develop new skills that make the difficult decisions they face feel more manageable and achievable.
These changes build confidence and empower caregivers to make decisions that lead to improvements in their own lives and the lives of their families.
OFC is free and delivered virtually, no matter where you live, by RCI’s Caregiver Coaches.
“We don’t live the worst, by far, though it doesn’t take much to get into the darkness very quickly. That’s one thing I didn’t realize on this journey. I was looking for anybody who had walked the road, and once I found Operation Family Caregiver, I said ‘oh, this sounds like what I need’.”
