Elara Caring’s BRAVE PTSD Program for Veterans

For many veterans, the journey through post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and end-of-life care can be deeply complex. Recognizing this unique challenge, Elara Caring has developed BRAVE, a hospice program designed to provide compassionate support veterans with PTSD.

A Veteran-Centered Approach to Care

BRAVE is structured to foster meaningful conversations, promote healing across all dimensions—physical, mental, emotional and spiritual—and uphold the dignity of veterans throughout their hospice experience. The program is committed to honoring veterans by helping them navigate PTSD and end-of-life challenges with understanding and specialized support.

Comprehensive Support and Resources

One of the standout features of BRAVE is its interactive veteran and family guide and resource booklet. This guide is designed to encourage open communication, helping veterans and their loved ones cope with the emotional and practical aspects of PTSD and end-of-life care. It provides educational resources that outline practical ways to:

• Cope with PTSD symptoms
• Connect with loved ones and caregivers
• Communicate personal needs and feelings effectively

By emphasizing quality of life, BRAVE ensures that veterans can focus on the people, activities and personal tasks that hold the most significance to them.

24/7/365 Support – Call Us First

One of the most reassuring aspects of BRAVE is its constant availability. Veterans and their families can access care 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year, easing anxiety by ensuring that help is always within reach.
