(webinar 4 of 5 in the military couple relationship series)
The well-being of military children depends heavily on the quality of their relationships with their parents and siblings. This presentation will focus on evidence about the role of military service in shaping children’s family relationships, how those relationships connect to their well-being and adjustment, and how practitioners can use this evidence to support military families.
