About This Webinar:

This webinar is part 1 of 2 on Family Systems.

Families are changing in response to large global trends. Military families are experiencing the same transitions which may be compounded by military service.

Objectives

  • Examine family systems trends and changes – global, U.S. and military families
  • Examine implications for family resilience during transitions, both military and family-related
  • Discuss the implications for our practice
  • Reflect on the impact of these trends for military families that you serve
