There are about 5.5 million military caregivers in the U.S. who are the backbones in injured service members’ and veterans’ recovery. The caregivers we’ve spoken to wouldn’t have it any other way, but they fill a demanding role that can strain their physical and mental health.

Micah is a @USMC veteran who sustained multiple TBIs — during intense combat in Iraq and as a result of physical assault because of his sexuality. He credits yoga and clinical treatment with alleviating his ongoing symptoms.
