Respite for caregivers of Veterans from all eras is a recognized, but often unmet need. Special considerations for the development and implementation of respite care for caregivers of younger Veterans with disabilities, and new ways to improve access to services, may be required. This fact sheet provides a basic review of respite issues for providers who work with Veterans and their caregivers. It will also help Lifespan Respite grantees better understand the unique needs of Veterans.

The Respite Care Provider Training (RCPT), a competency-based entry level respite provider training curriculum, developed by the Respite Care Association of Wisconsin as part of the ARCH/National Academy for State Health Policy Respite Provider Recruitment and Training Initiative, is designed for people who are interested in providing respite care to individuals with varying disabilities and ages across the lifespan. Each course in the training meets at least one of the Respite Care Professional Core Competencies and was field tested in ten states.

Training courses aim to provide current information that educates and promotes awareness of the causes, symptoms, and treatment of traumatic brain injury (TBI).

Research and evaluation are notable factors in trainings presented by our Omni staff.
