New on-line National Resource Directory maintained by Dept. of Defense, Department of Labor and VA

A Voice for Long Distance Caregivers

News

  • Caring from a Distance (CFAD) (http://www.cfad.org) is the nation's first non-profit organization devoted to using both the rich tools of the internet and social networking platforms to help support an estimated population of 6.9 million long distance caregivers. http://www.cfad.org launched in 2006 as a free, comprehensive resource for caregivers --- those in crisis, and those managing longstanding conditions. Founded, funded and staffed by individuals who experienced these challenges, our goal is to provide a gateway for site visitors to the wide spectrum of legal, financial, health and community services, tools, resources and information. This one-stop approach tries to link problems to solutions so users can zero in on available options and next steps.

The National Resource Directory is an on-line tool for wounded, ill, and injured Service Members, Veterans their families, and those that support them. It provides access to more than 11,000 services and resources at the national, state and local levels to support recovery, rehabilitation and community reintegration.

Caring from a Distance is proud to be among the Veterans' service and benefit organizations, non-profit and community-based organizations, academic institutions and professional associations who provide assistance to wounded warriors and their families.  The directory is part of a larger effort to improve wounded warrior care coordination and access to information on services and resources authorized in the 2008 National Defense Authorization Act.

Hope Military Family members will check it out.  Hopefully you will find decent and reliable information.  At least that is the purpose of this new effort.
