Time spent caregiving can lead to the loss of income/jobs and exact a substantial physical and emotional toll. In response to the need, Yellow Ribbon Fund developed the Keystone Program. The care and love of a military caregiver is invaluable and unending, but its emotional and financial cost is profound. It is imperative to support military caregivers, as these military caregivers serve as their family’s keystone, the apex of an arch enabling the foundation to bear its weight. Without a supportive structure in place, our Nation’s heroes could not prevail in the operative and postoperative rehabilitation process and successfully transition into civilian life.
Whether committing to life-long treatment at WRNMMC and relocating to Bethesda, Maryland, or returning home to continue treatment at the local VA medical center, service members and their families can be assured Yellow Ribbon Fund will provide a pipeline of sanctuary and support to both our nation’s heroes and military caregivers. The Keystone Program provides transitional services and training to caregivers, at any point in their journey: health and wellness education and events; life skills development and educational opportunities; family retreats; peer-to-peer support and networking.
Through our Keystone Program, we offer a foundation of resources for military caregivers. Often, their own needs are set aside as they manage families, careers, and finances, and the daily medical journey of their service member.
Yellow Ribbon Fund’s Keystone Program provides military caregivers with a foundation rooted in three core keys:
Career Development Program
Health & Wellness
Respite
Family Disney Trips
Family Wellness Retreat
Education
The supportive structure of a caregiver is essential to our wounded, ill and injured service members during their recovery and successful transition into civilian life. Yellow Ribbon Fund provides transitional services and training for caregivers and their families, at any point throughout their journey.
