Chicago Caregivers Course

The City Colleges of Chicago hosted a two-day symposium to introduce a first-of-its-kind four-week comprehensive, accredited course for caregivers of veterans, police, fire, first-responders, and trauma victims in Chicago. During the symposium, the Foundation presented and shared caregiver experiences to inspire other hidden heroes to seek and receive critical support that is provided through courses like this. Spearheaded by local VA leaders and universities in Chicago, the goal is to replicate this initiative in other cities and states long term.
