- Summary:
- The health and well-being of military families is a key part of sustaining the health and readiness of our military forces. The Forum on Health and National Security addressed interventions to mitigate the effects of stressors confronted by military families and strategies to enhance the resilience and well-being of these families, as wartime transitions to peace, garrison, and small group deployments. Participants represented military and civilian leaders, and health care and family services educators, researchers, planners, and providers. The goal of the Forum was to share knowledge across the disciplinary boundaries, and to develop new perspectives and vantage points, in order to better understand the needs of military families.
- Participants considered the challenges as well as potential solutions at different levels, from the individual to the family to the larger systems in which soldiers and families are embedded, including both military and civilian communities. In the coming years, additional transitions, and new challenges, requiring even greater consideration of cost-effective solutions. To facilitate difficult decisions by leadership in a challenging transitional time, the group developed a set of recommendations addressing: (1) leadership; (2) training and education; (3) programs and interventions; and (4) research.
