Military Family Needs
The military can cause a variety of emotions and conflict, we see the soldier and the family needing support. Pre and post-deployment can bring about conflict within the family, between marriage relationships, and with children.
Family mediators with military family experience.
Did you know we have family mediators trained to provide a safe and customized approach to resolving family conflicts related to military matters?
​
The family, soldier, and unit needs can create a whirlwind of emotions as the news of a deployment emerges. Oftentimes, parents are left to raise kids alone while their partner leaves for extended periods to serve our country.
​
Family mediation can help with strained relationships from short or long-term separations due to military service, such as:
​
-
Create a plan around the situation to foster open conversation (what deployment might look like, how we can prepare for reintegration, etc.).
-
Process and navigate reintegration for the soldier and family members.
-
Work through stressors and practice constructive conversations.
-
Identify, discuss, and connect to Unit or community resources (SFRG, addiction/recovery, support groups, or other relevant needs).
