This is the real cost of war. Children of veterans dealing with the invisible wounds of war often deal with depression, anxiety, and the worst, suicidality. Post traumatic stress impacts the entire family. The bravery this young man, Kris Rotenberry, exudes during this interview, and last year, as he spoke out about his struggles as a Hidden Helper at the fundraiser gala for The Elizabeth Dole Foundation, will no doubt help other children reach out for help. I am so very proud of Elizabeth Rotenberry and her beautiful, extremely brave family. ??
One of the most meaningful parts about my time at the Elizabeth Dole Foundation was working directly with military caregivers and their families. I’m very proud to have worked on the #HiddenHelpers ?? initiative with dedicated colleagues and partners, which has led to an increase in awareness and support for the children in caregiving families. Please watch this incredible 60 MINUTES piece about the children living with injured veterans who are stepping up to help their families: https://lnkd.in/g9AXM8N4

This Sunday's episode of 60 MINUTES on CBS will share a story that is very close to our hearts. "Children of War" explores the complex lives of America’s children who grow up in the shadows of their parents' military service, a reality that many don't see. Central to this story is my dear friend Elizabeth Rotenberry and her family, who represent the strength and struggles of military veteran caregivers like us. Early in the making of this report, the producers spent extensive time with various families, including ours. They conducted deep-diving interviews with David Eves and myself first, then spoke with Matthew (11) and Emily (23) about their experiences as the children of our war heroes. Each session was an eye-opener for them, as they were both shocked and moved by the depth of what our children and we experience daily. It's a side of military life that seldom makes the headlines, yet is so pivotal to understanding the true cost of service. Watching Liz and her family, you're seeing more than their story; you're seeing ours too. We are immensely proud of their bravery in sharing their lives, making visible the invisible burdens we carry. This feature not only highlights their courage but also honors the resilience of all the families in our community. Please tune in. It’s important. When you watch, know that the voices of our children and the insights from our lives have shaped this narrative. It’s a reflection of our collective journey—a testament to the love, challenges, and enduring spirit of families like ours across the nation. Let’s watch together and continue to support each other in every way we can. For how to watch, visit: https://lnkd.in/eceUDw55 #HiddenHeroes #MilitaryCaregivers #HiddenHelpers

The Cost of Caregiving- Part 2 was on CBS Mornings this morning. Inside the struggles of America's caregivers About 53 million people in the U.S. are unpaid caregivers, and many of them are simultaneously raising young kids and taking care of a parent, earning them the title "Sandwich Generation." CBS News contributor Lisa Ling, who is a member of this generation, recently shared her personal experience by taking us into her family home. She also introduced us to another family who faced the tough choice of placing their loved one in a nursing home. Today, she shares the story of a caregiver who is determined to keep her mom at home. #caregivers #sandichgeneration https://lnkd.in/dxevjvtw
