Let’s come together to listen\, learn\, and support one another in a space that celebrates connection and shared experiences. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat You'll Gain\n\n\n\n\nA deeper understanding of the different caregiving roles and experiences within military and veteran families.\n\n\n\nPractical insights and shared strategies for managing caregiving challenges.\n\n\n\nA sense of connection and support from a community that truly understands.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis Event is Open To\n\n\n\n\nSpouse/partner of active-duty service member/post-service veteran\n\n\n\nFamily member/caregiver of active-duty service member/post-service veteran\n\n\n\nDivorcee or widow/widower of active duty service member/post-service veteran\n\n\n\n\nEligibility varies by session.

We are a grant-based program and believe in removing barriers to connection and support and are proud to offer these sessions at no cost to our community. \n\n\n\n\nDo I need to live in Texas to participate?\nNo—VSN is based at the University of Texas at Austin’s Institute for Military & Veteran Family Wellness\, but we are a nationwide network open to any military-connected individuals in the US and beyond.
