PsychArmor’s New Resource

Hidden Helpers Facilitators Guide & Interactive Journal

PsychArmor’s new Hidden Helpers Facilitators Guide and Interactive Journal was developed as part of our partnership with the Hidden Helpers Coalition and with funding from Wounded Warrior Project® (WWP). The content is designed to increase peer support among military-connected caregiving youth and reduce social isolation. These resources were piloted to youth living in a caregiving home at the Unified Behavioral Health Center for Military, Veterans, and Their Families at Northwell Health.

Approximately 2.3 million children under the age of 18 live with a Veteran who is disabled and are often tasked with additional responsibilities in their military caregiving home lives. Many Hidden Helpers rise to the challenge of helping out more often at home, however, this does not go without consequence. Research has found that in order to combat the negative outcomes associated with growing up in a military caregiving home, children need more support to navigate their experiences as Hidden Helpers. This guide aims to facilitate an open conversation with the caregiving youth who are impacted by or support the care of a wounded, ill or aging service member or Veteran.

Program goals are two-fold:  

  1. Help participants build connections within their hidden helpers community.
  2. Empower participants to successfully interact with non-caregiving youth.
