Living in Their Shoes: What Works in Supporting Military and Veteran Families?

This workshop provides the opportunity to consider complex family dynamics — couple relationships and parent-child relationships — in the context of the unique set of stressors facing military families, which are
not experienced by their civilian counterparts. Drawing on international research evidence, the presenter will address complex questions and ascertain the effectiveness of support and intervention programs for military-connected families. The workshop explores challenges in supporting military families, including related to military–trauma and parental
mental illness and their impact on parent-child relationship and co-parenting.
