We partnered with @Claritev to cut through it. Free, practical mental health insurance guides — built for military caregivers and their families.

Navigating mental health insurance is confusing for most people. For military and veteran caregivers already working within complex care systems — it's even harder.

Caregiving rarely looks the same twice. For LGBTQ+ military and veteran caregivers, it can mean navigating a service member’s recovery while also navigating whether their family is fully seen or understood by the systems meant to support them.

[Elizabeth Dole Foundation @DoleFoundation]

Our 2024 RAND Survey, America’s Military and Veteran Caregivers: Hidden Heroes Emerging from the Shadows, shows that LGBTQ+ caregivers are likely among the least visible and least served in this community. That reality matters—and it shapes the work still ahead.

Their shared legacy lives on through those who continue to serve military families, veterans, and caregivers with the same spirit of compassion and commitment. 💙

Today, we celebrate the birthdays of Bob and Dolores Hope — two extraordinary champions whose legacy of service, patriotism, and compassion continues to inspire generations. 🎂🇺🇸

[Elizabeth Dole Foundation @DoleFoundation]

From Korea to Vietnam to the Persian Gulf, the Hopes showed up for service members in places far from home, proving that even small moments of connection and care can leave a lasting impact.

Meet Krista, our Resource Navigation Manager.

As a caregiver herself, she brings her passion and understanding of military and veteran families to her daily work, connecting caregivers to vital resources and services.

This is the team behind the mission.

To all who have made this sacrifice, who loved someone who did, or are supporting someone who has served: we thank you and we support you. 🇺🇸❤️

For military families, veterans, caregivers, and survivors, Memorial Day is more than a date. It’s an empty seat at the table, a flag folded with both pride and pain, and the strength to keep going in honor of those who made the ultimate sacrifice. 🇺🇸

[Elizabeth Dole Foundation @DoleFoundation]

We must pause to honor the bravery of those who gave their lives for our great country. We are also reminded of the importance of caring for those who have lost a loved one while serving our nation.

[Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks, M.D. @RepMMM]

Had a productive meeting with Iowa caregivers on behalf of the Elizabeth Dole Foundation to discuss the challenges caregivers of veterans face and how we can better support the men and women who care for our nation’s heroes every day.

Their dedication, sacrifice, and service to our veterans deserve our gratitude and continued support.

We discussed policies to strengthen caregiver wellbeing, improve support systems, and expand economic opportunities for those caring for our service members and veterans.
