Caregiver & Family Well-being White Paper Excerpt "The findings from these three complementary research endeavors suggest that caregivers need deeper and broader support systems like peer networks, health and wellbeing services, financial support, and special consideration for caregivers who are also parents." Thank you MFAN & WWP for researching and exploring the support that military caregivers need.

We recently ran a campaign on LinkedIn highlighting our offering to veterans which has received great support, and thanks to those of you that shared and commented. It has generated an interesting conversation around who qualifies as a 'veteran'.  The definition of a 'veteran' varies from country to country. For example, in New Zealand it is a very exclusive term as only those former service personnel who served before 1 April 1974 and those with qualifying operational service after that date qualify as a 'veteran'. In the US, anyone who served in the active military and who left under conditions other than dishonourable qualify. The UK Government's definition of "anyone who has served for at least one day in His Majesty's Armed Forces (Regular or Reserve) or Merchant Mariners who have seen duty on legally defined military operations" is probably the most inclusive. It is this wide definition that military charities work to when providing their support and it is also the one that we at Trinity adhere to. We feel that those who volunteered to serve, and served - no matter for how short or long, deserve the very best in return. #military #armedforcescommunity #veterans #veteranshelpingveterans
