PsychArmor Resource of the Week
The PsychArmor resource for this week is the PsychArmor course Supporting Children Who Support Veterans. If a child helps out with caregiving for a parent or other Veteran family member who is ill or injured, who gives that child extra support? These children are often overlooked. The goal of “Supporting Children Who Support Veterans” is to give you some information and resources to help you find ways to support a child if they are assisting with caregiving for a family member, or if they are helping with other chores or responsibilities as a result of having an ill or injured family member. Although the children may be small now, PsychArmor hopes that this course provides some building blocks to address any parenting challenges that may occur as children mature.
Theme Music
Our theme music Don’t Kill the Messenger was written and performed by Navy Veteran Jerry Maniscalco, in cooperation with Operation Encore, a non profit committed to supporting singer/songwriter and musicians across the military and Veteran communities.
