THE CHALLENGES OF MILITARY LIFE
Despite offering many benefits, being part of the military involves a set of challenges that families struggle with.
As a military family, we understand them well and are committed to addressing each of them with our programs.
ISOLATION
Both parents and children feel isolated and lack the assistance
they need day in and day out.
FREQUENT MOVES
Typical military families move 6 to 9 times before kids reach 12th grade.
INSECURITY
Insecurity comes in many forms including fear of abandonment, and lack of food or medical supplies.
CHILDCARE
Due to their frequent moves, military families struggle to find affordable and accessible childcare
SEPARATION
Long-term duty means being separated for long periods of time, with the fear of losing a loved one.
UNEMPLOYMENT
Military spouses face unemployment 6 times more than their civilian counterparts.
