Operation Family Caregiver

About Us

Operation Family Caregiver (OFC) is a free, confidential program for anyone caring for a loved one with an injury due to military service, including both visible and invisible injuries. OFC coaches the families and friends of returning service members and veterans to manage the difficulties they face when they come home. Our coaches meet face-to-face with the caregiver, in person or via Skype. OFC is a personalized program, tailored specifically to the struggles of each family. The caregiver identifies a problem, and they work together to solve it positively. Through visits, phone calls, and other support, caregivers develop new problem-solving techniques they can refer to down the road. Through proven methods, OFC teaches military familieshow best to navigate their challenges, resulting in stronger and healthier families.

How It Works

Our coaches work for local, community-based organizations, not the military, and will visit the caregiver's home, or meet by phone/Skype, to customize a 16- to 24-week program that is unique to each family. Together, caregivers and their coaches develop strategies that can help them get through the tough times and make plans for how to manage over the long term.

Proven Results

Caregivers who complete the program report being more satisfied with their lives, having fewer health issues, and being generally more prepared to take care of their families. Learn more about the science behind Operation Family Caregiver's results.
