This presentation will cover two programs: Program of General Caregiver Support Services and Program of Comprehensive Assistance for Family Caregivers, along with supports, resources, and more. The Department of Veteran Affairs (VA) Caregiver Support Program (CSP) offers clinical services to caregivers of eligible and covered Veterans enrolled in the VA health care system. The program’s mission is to promote the health and well-being of family caregivers who care for our nation’s Veterans, through education, resources, support, and services.
