OCS Investor Alert: Levi & Korsinsky Investigates Oculis Holding AG (OCS) for Potential Securities Fraud

OCS Investor Alert: Levi & Korsinsky Investigates Oculis Holding AG (OCS) for Potential Securities Fraud

Oculis Holding AG shares lost over 23% of their value in a single session after Phase 3 DIAMOND trial results revealed OCS-01 failed to meet its primary endpoint in diabetic macular edema.

NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Shareholders of Oculis Holding AG (NASDAQ: OCS) lost nearly $7 per share, more than 23%, in a single trading session when the company disclosed that its Phase 3 DIAMOND-1 and DIAMOND-2 trials for OCS-01 failed to meet the primary endpoint — mean change in best-corrected visual acuity at week 52 — in diabetic macular edema. Oculis simultaneously announced it would not pursue an FDA filing for the DME indication. Investors who lost money on OCS are encouraged to submit their information now. You may also contact Joseph E. Levi, Esq. via email at [email protected] or by telephone at (212) 363-7500.

The approximately 23.4% single-day decline followed disclosure that OCS-01 eye drops — the company’s lead pipeline candidate targeting what Oculis had described as a multi-billion-dollar market — did not achieve statistical significance on the primary efficacy measure across both pivotal trials. The company stated it would redirect resources to other pipeline candidates and would not file a New Drug Application for the DME indication.

Prior to the disclosure, Oculis had described the DIAMOND program as positioned for topline results in 2026 with a subsequent NDA submission planned for Q4 2026. CEO Sherif had previously claimed it was a product they “know that it works … really the only risk … is execution.” Despite their claimed “obsessive execution,” the studies ultimately failed and the stock’s 23% decline erased hundreds of millions of dollars in market capitalization in a single session.

Shareholders who purchased OCS and suffered a loss are encouraged to click here to discuss their legal rights. You may also contact Joseph E. Levi, Esq. via email at [email protected] or by telephone at (212) 363-7500.

2026 World Cup Triggers Corporate Travel Boom in Canada and U.S.

Navan data reveals Canadian business bookings have tripled, while U.S. hotel prices spike 30% as global enterprises lock in client entertainment

PALO ALTO, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Navan (NASDAQ: NAVN), the global AI-powered business travel and expense management platform, today released year-over-year data revealing global enterprises are leaning in heavily to the upcoming 2026 World Cup, with hotel and flight bookings for business travel to World Cup host cities up 46% to the U.S. and a massive 295% to Canada.

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260602020779/en/

Navan data reveals Canadian business bookings have tripled, while U.S. hotel prices spike 30% as global enterprises lock in client entertainment

Navan data reveals Canadian business bookings have tripled, while U.S. hotel prices spike 30% as global enterprises lock in client entertainment

“While headlines right now are focusing on softer-than-expected tourism demand and lagging leisure hotel bookings, our corporate data tells a different story,” said Dane Molter, SVP, Navan Group Travel Marketplace. “Companies are embracing the World Cup as the ultimate can’t miss event, and travel to North America is surging. Businesses know they can’t afford to sit this one out, and they’re using Navan to lock down bookings early and actively control their spend.”

The data reveals standout destinations and price changes for World Cup cities across the North American host nations for the tournament period.

  • Canada’s Toronto Takeover: Canada is the breakout leader with overall corporate hotel and flight booking volume up 295% year-over-year, despite flight prices dropping 26% compared to the same period in 2025. This national surge in bookings is being driven by Toronto, where total combined hotel and flight booking spend skyrocketed 486%.
  • The U.S. Power Players: Corporate hotel and flight booking volumes in U.S. host cities are up 46%, with average hotel prices jumping 30% overall to $1,592 on average per trip, compared to the same period last year. The highest hotel and flight booking volumes amongst U.S. host cities are SF Bay Area with the average hotel booking costing $1,641, and NY/NJ (the Finals host), with the average hotel booking costing $1,836.

The data also highlights exactly which industries are driving the upward trend, and how employees are choosing to travel.

  • Industries Leading the Charge: The tech sector dominates the footprint, accounting for 51% of hotel and flight booking spend in host cities over the World Cup period on the Navan platform. Professional Services is the fastest-growing sector, with hotel and flight booking spend jumping 130% compared to the same period in 2025.
  • Booking Window Shift: Travelers are securing their spots significantly earlier, with Toronto flights booked for the World Cup period 51 days earlier (from 69 to 119 days in advance compared to the same period in 2025) – the biggest window shift of any city – and Philadelphia hotels locked in 33 days earlier (from 59 to 91 days in advance), the largest hotel window shift in the U.S.
  • LA’s Bleisure Boom: For the World Cup period, Los Angeles is the top destination city for bleisure travel, with flight data showing that Saturday stayovers have risen from 44% to 52%, and hotel and flight bookings have more than doubled (+163%).

Methodology: The above data was pulled in May 2026, comparing global flight and hotel bookings through Navan for the World Cup host cities during the tournament period (June 11 – July 19, 2026), against bookings for the locations and period in 2025. Analysis was restricted to customers who launched before January 1, 2025, to account for Navan’s customer growth.

Travelers and the National Trust for Historic Preservation Bring National Resilience Initiative to Connecticut

Travelers and the National Trust for Historic Preservation Bring National Resilience Initiative to Connecticut

Mystic Seaport Museum to host collaborative workshop exploring resilience strategies for communities facing extreme weather risks; historic museum receives funding for new climate-resilient docks

HARTFORD, Conn.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
The Travelers Companies, Inc. (NYSE: TRV) and the National Trust for Historic Preservation today celebrated the third signature stop of their Travelers Across America initiative, a yearlong campaign to restore and protect historic landmarks in honor of the nation’s 250th anniversary. As part of this effort, Travelers and the National Trust are hosting a daylong innovation lab in Mystic, Connecticut, at Mystic Seaport Museum, bringing together experts from across sectors to discuss and develop resilience strategies for communities facing extreme weather risks.

The collaborative workshop will feature community leaders, architects, planners, scientists, academics, insurers and other subject matter experts working together to focus on scalable solutions for communities facing climate challenges. During the event, Travelers and the National Trust will spotlight three Travelers Across America-funded projects that address various extreme weather challenges, including fortifying historic homes against hurricanes in New Orleans, mitigating the impact of wildfires in Los Angeles and adapting to sea level rise in Mystic.

Participants will work in small, specialized teams to tackle design challenges, examining how resilience solutions pioneered at historic properties can overcome technical and financial hurdles to wider adoption. Travelers will also host a Community Day at Mystic Seaport Museum for the broader Travelers community. Employees, agents and brokers will have an opportunity to take in the findings of the innovation lab, explore the historic museum and participate in hands-on volunteer projects.

Travelers and the National Trust are also providing a grant to the museum, which was founded in 1929 to gather and preserve the artifacts of America’s seafaring past, to replace 125 feet of aging docks along its north basin with modern floating docks. The project is part of an ongoing effort to protect the 19-acre campus from the impacts of sea level rise.

“Resilient communities aren’t built by any one discipline – they emerge when people with varied strengths and expertise come together around a shared challenge,” said Janice Brunner, Head of Civic Engagement and Corporate Affairs at Travelers. “The innovation lab is where we put that into practice, and our goal is for the insights we gain in Mystic to have value well beyond Connecticut.”

“Restoring and reviving vulnerable landmarks through the Travelers Across America initiative invites us all to take pride in our heritage as we celebrate America’s semiquincentennial – and reminds us that our future is something we build together,” said Carol Quillen, President and CEO of the National Trust for Historic Preservation. “We’re grateful to Mystic Seaport Museum for hosting this signature stop on our yearlong journey and honored that Travelers and the National Trust are able to invest in the future of the nation’s leading maritime museum.”

“The sea has always shaped our physical and cultural world, connecting people, communities and ideas across generations,” said Christopher Freeman, President and CEO of Mystic Seaport Museum. “As sea level rise accelerates, that relationship is becoming an increasingly dynamic reality, making it more important than ever to understand, preserve and adapt our maritime heritage. This funding will help Mystic Seaport Museum protect its historic resources while preparing for the future of our changing coast. We’re extremely grateful for the generous support from Travelers and the National Trust.”

Travelers and the National Trust are funding resilience projects in four historic locations around the country through Travelers Across America. In addition to installing floating docks at Mystic Seaport Museum, the partners are helping to fortify historic homes for low- and moderate-income homeowners in New Orleans, provide fire-adapted landscaping at the Eames House in Los Angeles, and replace a hail-damaged roof with a historically appropriate, weather-resilient design at Oliver Kelley Farm in Elk River, Minnesota.

Redfin Reports Sellers Are Pulling Their Homes Off the Market at Near-Record Rates

Redfin Reports Sellers Are Pulling Their Homes Off the Market at Near-Record Rates

  • More sellers are delisting as their homes sit on the market longer than they’d like and/or they’re unable to fetch the price they want.
  • Some sellers who delisted their homes in the last year are relisting them: 2.5% of homes are relistings that were previously pulled off the market, the highest share since 2020.
  • Redfin Early Access, which allows homeowners to test the market privately to gather pricing feedback, may help sell homes the first time they’re listed.

SEATTLE–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Nationwide, 5.8% of all U.S. home listings were taken off the market in April, according to a new report from Redfin, the real estate brokerage powered by Rocket. That’s tied with December 2025 for the highest share since March 2020, when the onset of the pandemic ground the housing market to a halt and spooked sellers. Prior to 2020, delistings were never as common as they are now.

Delistings rose 3.8% month over month on a seasonally adjusted basis, the second straight month in which they have increased. This is based on a Redfin analysis of MLS data.

Delistings are on the rise largely because it’s a buyer’s market. Many homeowners want to sell—but only if they can get the price they want. In many cases, prospective sellers test the waters but pull their home off the market when they don’t get offers they’re looking for.

“Sellers are still getting used to the post-pandemic normal,” said Patricia Ammann, a Redfin Premier agent in Arlington, VA. “Prices aren’t soaring like they were five years ago—high gas prices and the rising cost of living overall is trickling down to the housing market, making buyers much less likely to bid prices up. Buyers know they have negotiating power, often offering under the asking price and completing inspections, but some sellers just won’t budge.”

There are a few forces driving the trend:

  • Homes are taking longer to sell. Mortgage rates came down from their recent peak in April, but they were still double pandemic-era lows—and home prices are still rising. Affordability is strained, which has pushed many house hunters to the sidelines. With fewer buyers competing for homes, sellers are more likely to wait weeks or months without a strong offer.
  • Inventory is rising faster than demand. In many parts of the country, listings have piled up as more homeowners try to sell and buyer activity slows. That increased competition among sellers means some homes sit unsold, prompting owners to pull them off the market rather than cut their price.
  • Some sellers still have pandemic-era price expectations. Homeowners who watched prices soar during 2020-2022 may still expect bidding wars or top-dollar offers. But today’s buyers are more price-sensitive because monthly housing costs are much higher. When sellers don’t receive the offers they anticipated, some choose to delist and wait for conditions to improve.
  • Economic uncertainty is making both buyers and sellers cautious. Concerns about the Iran war, inflation, tariffs and job security are causing some homeowners to hesitate about moving unless they can get a strong price.
  • Delisting can be a strategic reset. Sellers sometimes remove a stale listing to relaunch it with a new price, photos or during a more active season. Others are deciding to rent their homes instead, especially if they have a low mortgage rate they don’t want to give up.

Sellers Are Relistings at Highest Rate Since 2020

2.5% of homes that were on the market in April belonged to sellers who had pulled their listing in the previous 12 months, then relisted. That’s tied with the prior two months for the highest share since mid-2020, when many homeowners were putting their homes back on the market after delisting at the start of the pandemic.

Homeowners who pulled their home off the market over the last year are increasingly trying again as they come to terms with today’s buyer’s market. As high mortgage rates and growing inventory continue giving buyers negotiating power, sellers are aligning with the realities of the market.

They were also betting on a stronger spring market, hoping for a bump in homebuying demand after a slow few years that were marked by sky-high mortgage rates. The market did improve in April as rates dipped a bit, though it slowed down again in May as rates jumped.

“Many of last year’s sellers delisted when they couldn’t get the price they wanted. Now, some of them are circling back, willing to price realistically and do what it takes to sell their home,” said Monica DiSchiano, a Redfin Premier agent in Austin, TX. “They’ve realized that if they’re selling for less, the next home they buy will cost less, too.”

Delistings Most Common in Atlanta

In Atlanta, one in 10 (10.7%) homes listed in April were pulled off the market—the highest share among the 50 most populous U.S. metros. Next come San Jose, CA (9.3%), Los Angeles (7.8%), Dallas (7.8%) and Seattle (7.7%).

Buyers hold the negotiating power in all those metros, meaning they often try to negotiate prices down or get concessions, which can lead sellers to pull their homes off the market.

Delistings were leastcommon in Pittsburgh, where 3.5% of April’s listings were pulled off the market. Next came Columbus, OH (3.6%), Chicago (3.6%), Cincinnati (3.7%) and New Brunswick, NJ (4.4%).

Bay Area Homeowners Are Relisting at High Rate

In San Francisco, 4.2% of the homes that were on the market in April were relistings of homes that had been delisted in the prior 12 months. That’s the highest share of the analyzed metros. It’s followed by neighboring San Jose, where 4.1% of all listings were relistings. Next came Boston (3.8%), Oakland, CA (3.7%) and Riverside, CA (3.7%).

Relistings are most prevalent in the Bay Area because the local market is hot, fueled largely by the AI boom. Many homeowners are taking advantage of rising demand by putting their houses back on the market.

Relistings were least common in Pittsburgh (1.6%), also the metro area where delistings were least common. It’s followed by Virginia Beach, VA (1.7%), Cincinnati (2%), Montgomery County, PA (2%) and New Brunswick, NJ (2.1%).

Redfin Early Access Can Help Sellers Test Market

Delistings have long been a way for sellers to avoid the stigma that can come with a home sitting on the market for too long. Now, Redfin Early Access can help. The program allows sellers to test the market privately via a ‘coming soon’ listing before their listing is formally launched, giving sellers the chance to gauge demand before they start accumulating days on market.

That can reduce the risk of a listing going stale, and it may help sellers avoid price drops. A recent Redfin survey found that more than 80% of prospective sellers are interested in a ‘coming soon’ approach to listing their home.

UiPath Achieves Dubai Electronic Security Center (DESC) Certification, Enabling Public and Private Organizations to Adopt Agentic Capabilities with Confidence

UiPath Achieves Dubai Electronic Security Center (DESC) Certification, Enabling Public and Private Organizations to Adopt Agentic Capabilities with Confidence

UiPath’s Automation Cloud UAE Region Certified Under the DESC Cloud Service Provider Security Standard, Enabling Secure Agentic Automation Across Dubai’s Public and Private Sectors

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates–(BUSINESS WIRE)–UiPath (NYSE: PATH), a leader in business orchestration and automation, today announced it has achieved certification under the Dubai Electronic Security Center (DESC) Cloud Service Provider (CSP) Security Standard for its Automation Cloud Commercial UAE region. This milestone certifies the UiPath suite of automation and AI services against the highest cybersecurity standards mandated by the Emirate of Dubai, opening the full scope of UAE government and semi-government entities as eligible customers and reinforcing the commitment of UiPath to building trust-first, enterprise-grade automation infrastructure across the region.

The DESC, operating under the Digital Dubai Authority, serves as the primary regulatory authority for cybersecurity and digital infrastructure protection in Dubai. Its CSP Security Standard is grounded in international frameworks including ISO 27001, with additional controls designed specifically for the UAE’s regulatory and data sovereignty requirements. Under Dubai law, government and semi-government organizations are prohibited from engaging cloud service providers that have not achieved DESC certification, making this designation not just a competitive differentiator, but a mandatory prerequisite for any cloud provider seeking to serve the public sector.

With this certification in place, UiPath becomes an eligible automation platform for Tier 1 enterprises and government entities across the UAE, enabling them to deploy agentic automation at scale with the confidence that their data handling, identity management, encryption, and business continuity protocols meet the most stringent local standards. For organizations that have previously been unable to deploy UiPath’s cloud services due to regulatory constraints, this certification removes that barrier entirely. The DESC certification covers the full breadth of automation and AI capabilities in the UiPath platform. This comprehensive scope ensures that UAE government and enterprise customers can leverage the end-to-end agentic automation capabilities of the UiPath platform—from intelligent document processing and AI-powered decision-making to orchestration, testing, and citizen development—all within a fully certified, compliant cloud environment.

“Security and trust are the foundation upon which every enterprise automation program must be built,” said Scott Roberts, Chief Information Security Officer, UiPath. “Nowhere is that truer than in regulated markets like the UAE, where the stakes for data sovereignty and compliance are exceptionally high. Achieving DESC certification is a direct reflection of the rigorous security standards to which we hold ourselves at UiPath. It sends a clear message to our customers across Dubai and the broader UAE that your data is protected, your compliance obligations are met, and your organization can move forward with confidence. We are proud to be a certified partner in Dubai’s vision for a secure, AI-powered digital future.”

2026 Private Capital Fundraising Trends Favor AI-Savvy Emerging Managers: SS&C Intralinks Report

2026 Private Capital Fundraising Trends Favor AI-Savvy Emerging Managers: SS&C Intralinks Report

WINDSOR, Conn.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–SS&C Technologies Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: SSNC) today announced the publication of the SS&C Intralinks 2026 Global Private Capital Fundraising Report, produced in association with PitchBook. The analysis of 427 private funds raised in Q1 2026 found that market trends are pointing toward increasing opportunities for emerging fund managers, especially those with a differentiated AI-enabled tech stack.

“Although overall fundraising levels remain low, we are seeing a normalization of fundraising patterns,” said Ken Bisconti, Head of SS&C Intralinks. “Fund managers are raising less capital across fewer funds and closing funds faster than at any point in the last decade. As capital deconcentrates, emerging managers are best positioned to reengage their LP bases. The managers embracing digital sophistication and an AI-enabled tech stack will stand out in this market. LPs’ expectations of GP data capabilities now extend beyond traditional security and governance to include AI adoption.”

Key findings from the report include:

  • 427 private market funds amounting to USD 170.7 billion were raised through March 12, 2026.

  • The YTD median and average times to close a fund have reached a decade low of 11.5 months and 14.6 months, respectively. The median and average times to raise a subsequent fund declined to pre-pandemic levels.

  • The average fund size is getting smaller, with step-ups declining to 1.9x from 3.6x — the first time since 2020.

  • Venture capital (VC) and private equity (PE) funds continue to account for the majority of global private capital fundraising activity, capturing nearly 80% of funds closed YTD.

  • North American fund managers attracted 72.4% of global private capital raised in Q1 2026 and 66.3% of global fund volumes, a material increase from the prior year. Asia-based fund managers experienced significant declines in fundraising activity.

Fund managers interviewed for the report pointed to AI influencing many of these trends, from investment opportunities to fundraising dynamics. Many managers are already implementing AI to accelerate workflows and optimize operations. LPs increasingly favor firms demonstrating advanced use of the technology tools to improve investment outcomes and operational transparency. The trend is leveling the playing field between emerging and established managers.

Aon Clients Recover More Than $3B in Transaction Liability Insurance Globally as Claims Activity Continues to Evolve

Aon Clients Recover More Than $3B in Transaction Liability Insurance Globally as Claims Activity Continues to Evolve

  • Record year in 2025 for Transaction Liability Insurance recoveries in North America; Claims notifications in EMEA and APAC rise year-over-year

  • Data quality, analytics and proactive partnership remain critical to reducing claims exposure and protecting deal value

DUBLIN–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Aon plc (NYSE: AON), a leading global professional services firm, today released its 2026 Global M&A and Transaction Solutions Claims Study, which highlights the continued evolution of the global M&A insurance landscape across Representations and Warranties (R&W), Warranty and Indemnity (W&I), Tax and Contingent Risk insurance.

Aon’s study is based on proprietary data from nearly 2,000 claims and more than $3B in recoveries secured globally across transaction solutions products since inception, with record recoveries in North America and increasing claims activity across EMEA and APAC.

“The global claims environment is evolving rapidly, as rising claim frequency, increasing severity and shifting notification patterns impact the M&A insurance landscape,” said Stephen Davidson, Global Head of Transaction Solutions Claims for Aon. “At the same time, the market continues to demonstrate the value of high-quality underwriting data, sophisticated analytics and close partnership between insurers, brokers and clients to proactively manage risk before a deal is signed and achieve fair and efficient outcomes when claims do arise.”

Significant year-over-year increases in R&W and W&I insurance payments

The report reveals that in 2025, North American clients secured more than $1B across transaction solutions policies, including more than $440M from R&W insurance alone.

Larger claims are becoming more common in North America, with a growing proportion of losses exceeding 60 percent of policy limits and an increasing number reaching full limits. Approximately four percent of claims allege losses greater than $100M, while claims based on valuation multiples accounted for 68 percent of total paid losses in 2025.

Median R&W claim payments exceeded $8.2M in 2025, up from $5.5M in 2024, reflecting continued complexity in post-close disputes and increasing sophistication in the use of transaction risk insurance solutions.

In EMEA, claims activity continues to accelerate; notifications increased from 70 in 2024 to 119 in 2025. Claim frequency is also increasing, with insurer data showing a notification submitted on 21 percent of the policies placed across the market in 2023. Earlier notifications emerged as a trend in 2025, with a notification submitted on 9.5 percent of Aon-placed policies by December 31, 2025, reflecting maturing underwriting years and claims being filed across a broader portion of the policy lifecycle.

In APAC, there is a growing body of W&I and tax notifications across Australia, New Zealand and the broader markets in Asia, although the claims rate remains varied as the product matures in some regions.

Core drivers of claims

In terms of North American breach trends, compliance with laws remains the most frequent breach type, accounting for more than 20 percent of notifications. Material contracts, financial statements and tax breaches each represent more than 10 percent of notifications. Financial statement breaches continue to account for the highest proportion of paid losses, representing 38 percent of total losses, while intellectual property-related claims grew from approximately five percent of all losses between 2019-2024 to roughly 10 percent of total losses in 2025.

The main notification driver across EMEA is tax, which accounts for more than 20 percent of notifications; given the routine nature of audit activity in the region, this is expected and does not drive paid losses. Financial statement breaches account for a similar percentage of notifications but are the main driver of loss. Across APAC, disclosure continues to be the most common breach type.

Other key findings from the report include:

  • In North America, fifty-one percent of claims are now filed more than 12 months after closing, continuing the trend toward later reporting within the policy period.

  • Eight-figure claims represented approximately 41 percent of North American payments in 2025, compared to 27 percent in 2024.

  • Claims activity continues to increase as the use of R&W and W&I grows and buyers become more familiar with how the policy can protect against deal risks undiscovered in the due diligence process.

  • Tax insurance remains a low-frequency claims solution, though more than $350M has been recovered for clients in North America through negotiated resolutions with tax authorities across different types of claims.

In its seventh year, Aon’s annual Global M&A and Transaction Solutions Claims Study is the premiere indicator of how the firm’s historical claims data can assist clients, advisors and insurers on their next deal. Read the full study here.

Claritev Cares and Elizabeth Dole Foundation Team Up to Help Military and Veteran Caregivers Navigate Mental Health Benefits

Claritev Cares and Elizabeth Dole Foundation Team Up to Help Military and Veteran Caregivers Navigate Mental Health Benefits

Free online resources help military families understand their mental health insurance options

MCLEAN, Va. & WASHINGTON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Claritev Cares, the charitable foundation established by Claritev (NYSE: CTEV), and the Elizabeth Dole Foundation today announced a new collaboration giving military and veteran caregivers and their families practical guides and resources to navigate their mental health insurance benefits.

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260603152894/en/

Developed with Claritev’s healthcare subject matter expertise and hosted through the Elizabeth Dole Foundation’s trusted caregiver platform, the new web-based guidance helps caregivers better understand and navigate mental health insurance benefits across Commercial and Affordable Care Act Marketplace plans, Medicaid and CHIP, and Medicare.

Military and veteran caregivers can access these resources through the Elizabeth Dole Foundation’s online caregiver resources page.

The initiative responds directly to challenges identified by military and veteran caregivers themselves. During a January 2026 focus group co-facilitated by Claritev and the Elizabeth Dole Foundation, caregivers described the emotional and logistical burden of navigating fragmented mental healthcare systems while caring for wounded, ill, or injured veterans and service members.

According to a RAND study funded by the Elizabeth Dole Foundation, 42% of military and veteran caregivers supporting individuals age 60 and under met criteria for depression — almost four times the rate of non-caregivers — while 20% reported having considered suicide, four times the rate of non-caregivers. The study also found that caregivers are less likely to seek care for themselves despite elevated needs.

“These resources were created to help military and veteran caregivers more easily understand options for meaningful mental health care for themselves and their families,” said Steve Schwab, Chief Executive Officer of the Elizabeth Dole Foundation. “Caregivers shoulder extraordinary responsibilities every day, and they deserve clear, trusted guidance that helps them navigate complex healthcare systems with greater confidence.”

Developed in direct response to caregivers’ own descriptions of “frenetic internet searches” with high-stakes consequences, the new guidance consolidates reliable mental health insurance information in one trusted destination — giving caregivers clearer direction when they need it most.

“Claritev Cares was established to help improve healthcare access where the need is greatest,” said Carol Nutter, Board Chair of Claritev Cares and Chief People Officer at Claritev. “This collaboration reflects a shared commitment to helping military and veteran caregivers navigate mental healthcare more clearly and confidently. These families have given so much in service to our country, and they deserve resources that are practical, accessible, and grounded in empathy.”
