The U.S. Department of Defense reports that over 400,000 military families relocate annually. These families relocate on average every 2.5 years1, which places stress on the family system and may reduce accessibility to a local social support system2. Relocating can be both exciting and stressful. Although support is available to service members and their families through the military, Family Life Educators can provide additional family-centered support that is needed to assist families as they experience the stress of relocating.
With an appreciation for military culture and the common strengths of this population, webinar presenter Teresa Banner, M.S., B.S.N., RN, CFLE, will outline practical ways Family Life Education professionals can support military families before, during, and after relocation across the country or world. Ms. Banner will discuss common strengths and challenges experienced by military families during relocation and provide evidence-based approaches Family Life Educators can use to support military families through the transition.
Family Life Education professionals will learn more about the unique experiences of military families in this webinar as they relocate on permanent and temporary statuses while managing family relationships, family resources, and children’s educational needs.
