Synopsis

In this episode, we talk to Dayna Cooper, director of Home and Community Care at the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs, who talks about a program designed to give caregivers a break while still providing care for their care recipient. We also chat with Danny O'Neel, an Army veteran who continues to care for his fellow veterans. The TBI Family is produced by the Defense and Veterans Brain Injury Center. This podcast provides caregivers of service members and veterans with TBI with information on traumatic brain injury and highlights resources available to them. We also share caregiver stories.
