Parenting in the Military Family

Military life is often characterised by long and unpredictable duty hours, relatively low pay for lower ranks, frequent family separations and extreme mobility. As such, military families face challenges that go beyond the experience of the majority of families and children living in the UK. The presenters will bring together multi-disciplinary perspectives to gain a better understanding of these challenges, of their impact on parenting, and of strategies to support military mothers and fathers who have young children.
