Behind every service member is a family who is watching, waiting, and keeping everything running smoothly while he or she is deployed or training. Family members get to share in the glory of knowing they are contributing to the safety of our country, but they can also suffer with them during the difficult times. Sometimes, just holding it together without your service member home can be extremely difficult. If you are in a military family or work with military families, you know they face unique challenges.
Military Pathways offers comprehensive kits that military behavioral health clinicians, family readiness group leaders, military chaplains, and health centers can order to run events to engage and inform military families about common mental health issues. The kits are very popular and in limited supply, so Military Pathways makes some of the kit available for download – for free.
Whether you work with military families, or are in one yourself, you can visit our family downloads page for information on a wide variety of mental health topics for service members and their families from talking to helping teenagers struggling with having a deployed parent, to what happens to a relationship when one spouse is deployed, to a military child’s coloring book.
