After years of service and leadership with DAV (Disabled American Veterans)—including his role as National Commander—Dan has become a strong advocate for both caregivers and care receivers. Like many military spouses and family members, Dan didn’t initially see himself as a “caregiver.” That changed when, as a DAV leader, he sought to better understand the DAV’s Caregiver Support Program by completing the onboarding process. Now, he’s on a mission to raise awareness and provide resources for the 70% of veterans who are caring for loved ones. In this episode of the Happy Healthy Caregiver podcast, Dan shares: The resources DAV offers to support veterans who are also caregivers How his perspective on self-care has shifted as Teresa’s cancer journey has progressed The creative outlets he and Teresa enjoy together, including Legos, crafts, and hobbies that bring them joy How something as simple as a karaoke app helps him relieve stress and recharge Show notes with product and resource links: http://bit.ly/HHCPOD216 Receive the podcast in your email here: http://bit.ly/2G4qvBv Order a copy of Elizabeth's book Just for You: a Daily Self Care Journal: http://bit.ly/HHCjournal For podcast sponsorship opportunities contact Elizabeth: https://happyhealthycaregiver.com/contact-us/ The Happy Healthy Caregiver podcast is part of the Whole Care Network.
