Caregiver Support Line


The Caregiver Support Line (CSL) is a toll-free number 1-855-260-3274 for caregivers, family members, friends, Veterans, and community partners to contact for information related to caregiving.

Our CSL team provides information on support services, counseling, educational offerings, and more. CSL can also connect you directly to local VA Caregiver Support Program (CSP) teams. 

Our staff provides short-term counseling to help manage stress and burnout, including: 
   • Assessing caregiver burden.
   • Teaching coping skills.
   • Using proven techniques like problem-solving therapy and cognitive reframing.

For more complex needs, our Caregiver Support Line (CSL) team at 1-855-260-3274  will coordinate a referral to your local CSP Team.
