Make a Difference

Providing the Essential Life Skills for Military Families workshop is a tangible way for you to demonstrate support for your unit and their families. The workshop teaches concrete methods for dealing with the multi-faceted challenges of a military lifestyle — whether families are together or apart.

There is little or no cost to you or your unit to offer Essential Life Skills for Military Families. Equally important, we can be as flexible as you need us to be. We can:

• Provide a class location, or come to your site 
• Schedule sessions at your convenience
• Train multiple groups at the same time

Skills for Readiness

After completing the workshop, your troops will be armed with new knowledge and skills to apply to everyday life. They'll be able to stay mission-focused and to:

• Improve relationships and reduce personal distractions 
• Feel confident that they've fully prepared their families for separation 
• Be in better physical and mental health by cutting down on guilt and other stressors 
• Find social support systems in their local communities 
• Take full advantage of military-sponsored support efforts
