Support families who are providing care and support to Veterans living with physical and/or mental health issues.

What success looks like

Increased support for families who are providing care and support to Veterans living with physical and/or mental health issues.

Government's narrative on progress

Military members of Canada’s Armed Forces who leave the service for medical reasons, as well as their families, have had access to a full range of support services from all 32 Military Family Resource Centres since April 2018. All services are also available over the phone and online. Further support is offered to families by the new Caregiver Recognition Benefit, which provides a more generous non-taxable monthly benefit payable directly to caregivers of Veterans to better recognize and honour the vital role they play.
