The G.V. (Sonny) Montgomery VA Medical Center in Jackson will host a Caregiver Support Resource Fair Thursday, March 23, from 9 a.m. until 1 p.m.

The event in Montgomery Hall is open to all veterans and caregivers of veterans, including family members, friends and loved ones.

The fair will provide caregivers with information on various available resources, as well as offer support and guidance from other caregivers. VA staff and representatives from local community organizations will be on hand to provide information about services and programs in areas such as mental health, primary care, homeless program, veteran justice outreach, compensated work therapy and suicide prevention.

“We know that caregiving can be a challenging and demanding role,” said VA Caregiver Support Program Coordinator Shalonda Carlisle. “We hope this Caregiver Support Resource Fair will provide caregivers with the information and support they need to provide the best care to their loved ones and themselves.”

Mississippi State Veterans Home, American Legion, and the Social Security Administration are among the groups invited to participate in the fair.

“We encourage all caregivers to attend this event because it will be a great opportunity to connect with others facing similar challenges and to learn more about the resources available,” Carlisle said.
